So what if a nurse or midwife doesn't want to perform them?

They'll be forced to under 0bamacare. Am I being hyperbolic? Perhaps, perhaps not.

20 years ago, after my RN wife was injured on the job and could not go back to RN duties, she went to school in San Jose, California, to become an OB-GYN Nurse Practitioner. To get the credential, and to obtain a grant to support her education, she had to practice as an intern for some number of hours ... at Planned Parenthood (not the abortion part) ... doing GYN exams and providing birth control. My wife did the work and kept her mouth shut about her opinion of abortion.

When an off-hand remark in the office kitchen revealed that she was LDS, and Pro Life ... she was fired, thereby terminating her grant and endangering the completion of her education. It appeared to us that only pro-abortion students were to be subsidized for their education.

When an LDS OB-GYN Physician discovered the situation, he offered a paid intern position to my wife to complete her education (which she gratefully accepted) ... and to fund a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for religious discrimination. My wife was afraid that she would never get her OB-GYN credential if she sued PP, so she declined.

She is still not sure that she made the right decision.
