...provision)) would express a decision by society, speaking through the legislature, to leave it to individual justices . . . to make fundamental moral decisions about the interests of other people without any standards to guide the individual judge . . . There are some judges who believe that abortion . . . is morally wrong, who could not in good conscience issue an order requiring an abortion to be performed. There are others who believe that what may be thought to be in the "best interests" of the pregnant minor is itself just as necessarily a moral as a social question, upon which a judge may not morally...
...whether, or how, a physician with conscientious scruples against abortion, and the testing and counseling that may inform an abortion decision, can discharge his professional obligation without engaging in procedures that his religious or moral principles condemn . . . The court does not hold that some or all physicians must make such a choice between rendering services that they morally condemn and leaving their profession in order to escape malpractice exposure.
