I read this shit so you don't have to. Offered for comment.

Obama seeks to take away religious rights of doctors and health care providers who refuse to perform abortions

Urgent: send your e-mail to the White House today!

March 3, 2009

Dear John,

According to several news agencies, President Barack Obama will rescind the "conscience rule" that protects health workers who refuse to participate in abortions or other medical procedures that go against their moral and religious beliefs. If the rule is rescinded, doctors, nurses and other health care workers could lose their jobs or be punished professionally for adhering to their sincerely held religious convictions. Obama's proposal would take away their religious freedom.

The current rule empowers federal health officials to cut off federal funding for any state or local government, hospital, clinic, health plan, doctor's office or other entity if it does not accommodate employees who exercise their right of conscience. It applies to more than 584,000 health care facilities.

The Obama administration is doing the bidding of pro-abortion advocacy groups who seek to penalize health care providers who refuse to participate in abortions.

According to The Washington Post, Obama administration officials stressed that the proposal will be subject to 30 days of public comment. That is why it is so very important for you to let the White House hear from you today.

Take Action!
Send your e-mail to President Obama opposing his plan to rescind the "conscience rule."

Forward this to family and friends and ask them to do the same.






Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are worthy of support, would you consider making a small tax-deductible contribution to help us continue?


Sincerely,



Donald E. Wildmon,
Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

1. dear donald, it is really simple--if these people do not want to perform ALL the functions of their

jobs, they need to find other jobs where their conscience won't bother them, and they won't be inflicting their ignorant, bigoted, narrow, unscientific, non-medical views on people who need those services.

(don't you just LOVE how close his name is to what he is "wildmon/wild man")??

[ulysses]

3. you're missing the point.

How can they control what women do if they're not in a position to complain that their freedom of religion is being violated? They *have* to be in those jobs! ;-)

[niyad]

4. see, that is what I get for not enough caffeine today!! how could I so completely miss the obvious?

[Flying Dream Blues]

5. So true. That's their whole self-righteous point. nt

[havocmom]

11. would seem the likely reason those Xian colleges turn out so many lawyers of late too

Gotta have lots of lawyers to represent all those licensed professionals who feel doing their professional duties is a form of persecution. How Jesus-like they must feel being all persecuted for denying women full medical care :grr:

I would like for other 'professionals' to refuse to do their jobs for nutcase religious control freaks.

[fugop]

2. Remind me ...

Where's the address for those of us to comment on how excited we are to have a president again who insists that health workers do their effin' jobs and provide the treatments and prescriptions women need - the LEGAL treatments and prescriptions! - without turning up their noses and shoving their own morality down everyone else's throats?

[ulysses]

7. check out afa.net

:evilgrin:

[fugop]

10. Heh

You know, I thought about that. I even went to the site and started editing the "pre-written" message they have to send. But then I got nervous that they might edit it or have some other attached subject line which would benefit them. So I chickened out!

6. Please don't say "nuts" like it's a Bad Thing. It's offensive to us Nuts.

Thanks. :hi:

16. Ohhhhh ... just as well numbnuts not included cause I use to slam people.

[TahitiNut]

21. Well, "castrati in mufti" can't continue in good standing, ya know.

:silly:

[LiberalFighter]

22. Are you sure? Maybe it depends on who is castrated. Should be one candidate in Crawford.

[bluestateguy]

8. Fine. Live by the rules, die by the rules.

So I assume Wildmon would be OK with a doctor refusing to treat a patient who is an evangelical Christian because, you know, his conscience prevents him from helping such people.

[LiberalFighter]

14. Nobody has a right to be a doctor, pharmacist, attorney, etc.

If they did then there would be no reason for licenses.

17. job

Doctors need to do their jobs. Its our right to have doctors do their job.

[Peace_Sells]

18. job

19. i don't give a rats ass what the wild mon thinks...

[COLGATE4]

20. This is bullshit

This is bullshit and they know it. Federal law already prohibits making a health service worker perform an abortion if it is against his/her conscience, and Obama has signalled that he does not intend to challenge or change that law. The rulemaking that they're in a yank about was a Bush last minute "shoot over your shoulder as you go out the door" intended to greatly expand this so that any asshole pharmacist who doesn't want the little lady to have birth control doesn't have to give it to her, regardless of whether there are any other means available. Particularly nasty when it's applied to the 'Morning After Pill, "Plan B". These bastards won't be content until they're completely in our bedrooms.
