Today, the Bush administration issued a federal rule reinforcing protections for doctors and other health care workers who refuse to participate in abortions because of religious or moral objections.
Of course, the left is objecting saying that this new rule is too broad and may limit a patients ability to get accurate information or care when needed. What a load of crap! I guarantee there are still plenty of doctors in this country who will perform abortions on demand. People should not be forced by federal law to do anything that violates their religious or moral beliefs. This is exactly why the Founding Fathers gave us the 1st amendment to the Constitution.
(Note: The Constitution is a document that was written by some really smart guys 220ish years ago. It has worked great for this country for a long time...maybe we should keep it around! That's a subject for another blog...)
I find it extremely hypocritical that opponents of this rule are worried about patients not getting accurate information. These are the same people who pitch a fit when states attempt to pass laws saying that doctors and other health care professionals have to present all the options available to women before performing an adoption. This includes telling them that they have the option to give their baby up for adoption.
If these "pro-choice" people truly had the best interest of the woman in mind, then they would be for all types of information getting to a pregnant woman so she truly can make a choice. I don't know how anyone who claims to have a woman's best interest at heart can object to this rule and have even a shred of credibility left.
