Obama wants to restrict the ability of medical personnel and pharmacists to refuse to provide abortion-related services for non-medical reasons, on the grounds of conscience.\u00a0 This is one inevitable outcome of the Freedom of Choice Act he intends to pursue with the Congress, but in the short term, he intends to reverse a Bush administration <\/a>ruling extending conscience protections for health-care workers to so called “emergency contraception.”<\/p>\n

During the last months of the Bush administration, the feds adopted a new rule that could allow health-care workers to refuse to provide birth control on moral grounds. Now the Obama administration is moving to reverse that rule, the Chicago Tribune reports.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Existing federal law allows health-care workers to refuse on moral grounds to provide abortions. The new rule strengthened and extended those protections. While some groups, such as the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, supported the move, many others, including several state attorneys general and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists<\/a>, opposed the rule.<\/p>\n

There have been recent reports of women being denied emergency contraception, which is federally approved for use within 72 hours of intercourse, the Trib says.<\/p>\n

The Obama administration will start the process of reversing the rule today. Final action won’t be taken until after the public is allowed a 30-day comment period.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The problem with this, of course, is that it is simply a lie to call an early abortion (by drug) merely “contraception.”\u00a0 Either way, it’s just a preview of worse things to come with the Freedom of Choice Act, which, among other things, will have the effect of voiding ALL conscience protections laws, state and federal, that now allow health-care workers to refuse to participate in non-medically necessary abortions….\u00a0 meaning virtually all of them.<\/p>\n

Do you have a bright child who is interested in medicine?\u00a0 Better make sure you teach them that there’s nothing wrong with abortion, at any time in the pregnancy, for any reason whatsoever, because that will be the rule under the Freedom of Choice Act, when it reverses slowly achieved, hardwon gains in many states to put even minor restrictions on late-term abortion, institute parental notification and informed consent laws, etc.\u00a0 Look your brilliant young child in the eye, and say, “Repeat after me.\u00a0 It’s OK for women and their doctors to kill their unborn children for any reason whatsoever, at any point in the pregnancy, and I promise to always do that for women whenever they ask.”<\/p>\n

Keep saying it to yourself.\u00a0 Maybe you’ll even believe it some day.<\/p>\n

And your child will simply not be allowed to be a physician in the USA unless they agree with this horror.<\/p>\n

Put up a sign over the medical school entrance:\u00a0 “Only conscienceless future physicians need apply.”<\/p>\n
