Controversial guidelines for UK doctors

The General Medical Council, GMC in the UK has recently come up with a draft of new guidelines that are quite controversial for better patient care.  It has proposed that doctors may not refuse requests for sex-change operations or only prescribe contraceptives to married women and not unmarried women, as it would be discrimination towards a certain group of persons or women; however, the new guidelines give doctors the right to refuse to participate in abortions but cannot impose their beliefs on the patients or refuse to give the patient the "appropriate" services.  The GMC hopes that through these new amendments and guidelines, doctors would be able to set aside their own beliefs and provide patient care that is in compliance with the General Medical Council.

Do you think that these new amendments would really make doctors set aside their own personal beliefs or bias, when treating certain groups of patients?  Wouldn't it be also be considered discriminatory if doctors refuse to participate in abortions?
