Right of Conscience Rule

Personally, I think the opposition to this measure is presenting 'a much to do about nothing'.

It has been law that professionals were not required to perform procedures contrary to their conscience. Still, it has not protected individuals from being terminated, if, in the course of their duties under their employer, they refuse to perform a duty....... such as a pharmacist employed by a chain, refusing to dispense the morning after pill.

I'm glad President Bush has decided to add emphasis to this measure even if it increases polarization. No doubt the opposition is already rising..... even as the question is opened here in the OP. It is time for folks to recognize that these issues are not merely shadows of evil vs good.... The light will reveal where people stand. Personally, I would prefer to trust my life in the hands of a doctor who has a moral conviction to save life than a doctor willing to view a baby in the womb as a piece of parasitic tissue: How offensive! Why should a doctor be forced to do the abominable things such as abortion, or artificially inseminate a homos@xual couple against his own conscience and the performance of his oath to do no harm. Why should a nurse be forced against her conscience to assist a doctor in the performance of an abortion when her skills are of vital interest and use elsewhere.... and it seems there is no lack of persons willing to perform such duties for a price.

As for this extending to protect the auxiarlly personnell involved in the autoclaving of surgical instruments or cleaning and disinfecting the operating theatre...... I doubt seriously that President Bush's action would extend such protections against conscience and job protections.... but this is an emotional and sabre rattling of the pro-abortion crowd to drum up sympathy and fear in others who would be persuaded by such arguements.

 

It'll be all for naught once Obama the abortion king, takes office.

He won't think it's fair that some doctors don't want to kill babies as much as he wants them to.

He'll back legislation to force them.

 

You are wrong.

Why don't you write your buddy , Obama, and ask him why he does his utmost to make sure it's easy to kill babies.

After all, you supported him. I'm sure he'll give you a good Christian answer.

 

Then you have no complaint coming.

You knew it and voted for him anyhow and this is part of the package.

Are you ashamed yet?:tear:

 

Then it is hypocritical of you to complain about the steps he takes to aid in the killing of babies.

You knew what he stood for and supported him anyway. Still do.

 

:laugh: Uh huh.

Selective myopia.

As a Christian who supports killing babies, you live a life of hypocrisy.
As long as you support abortion, you will remain a hypocrite.

 

Why is this relevant? Who do you know that supports this?

 

God is a 'one issue" God. He gives man the choice: But He warns "choose life." In all his Word... in all His love.... he shows us the choice........ yes it is ours...to chose life or to chose death. I know the choice I've made. My question is, do you know the choices you're making? Do you not see how even on this board, professing that you are a Christian, you attack the stand of Christian brothers and sisters who find their convictions made in God's Word.

I hope when non Christians visit this board.... they realize the differences they hear represented here are differences between the carnal and the spiritual, though I doubt it. ......That takes a move of the Holy Spirit. And like it or not.... not everyone who is a member of this board or who posts so prolifically is a Christian. I tremble in concern for your own heart condition. Jesus told the pharisees that there remains no medicine for those who claim they are in good health.

 

So when one chooses to kill those God knows and loves that have not been born, how does that meet the criteria that Christ set to love one another?

 

You are trying to make a comparison where none exists. Apples and refrigerators.
