He's talking about the professor's objection to allowing a medical professional to refuse to refer a patient to another professional to obtain a "service" to which the original professional objects to on moral grounds. (Although the professor doesn't use the word "moral.")
Read the whole article but I was particularly struck by this nugget:
Charo apparently believes that if a physician has a moral objection to performing an abortion the needs of the physician's conscience are met in merely refusing to perform it himself or herself, but then they should be required by law to make a referral to a physician who will perform the abortion.
Evidently this professor of ethics has no idea what conscience means.
In other words, imagine that, in the not-to-distant future, it were legal for a physician to shoot a patient dead if the patient so requested. Charo believes a scrupulous physician may say to a patient, "No, I don't do that." but then would be required to say, "But, here, go to my colleague across the street, she will gladly shoot you to end your misery."
