I don't want doctors who pick and choose what procedures they'll perform based on personal belief (rather than ability) in the profession. This is how my sister ended up not getting her tubes tied after her second pregnancy since her doctor refused to tie any woman's tubes because he was Catholic and tubals are a form of birth control (his words, not mine).
As to having enough doctors, if we, as a society, really wanted more doctors, we'd be making sure anyone who wanted to and who had the grades could go to medical school without bankrupting their families or their futures. As it stands, you've pretty much got to be either wealthy or destitute to go to medical school.
