Obama to Review the Conscience Clause on Abortions

  President Bush signed into law a bill which states that an OB/GYN does not have to perform an abortion if he/she feels it is immoral or if it is against their beliefs. This is known as the “conscience clause” and it is the next target of this president’s administration.

  Here is the reasoning behind the people who believe that doctors should be forced to perform abortions:

“This HHS regulation places patients’ rights directly behind the rights of ideologically driven physicians and anyone else directly or indirectly involved in their health care.”

  The people who support recinding  the “conscience clause”  believe that this clause puts the patients rights behind the rights of the morality of the offending doctor. What the doctor believes means nothing to these people because they feel that they hold the moral high ground.

  If a doctor feels that abortion is wrong should the government step in and tell the doctor that he has no choice? Aren’t there plenty of doctors who will perform abortions that the woman can go see? A woman wishing to have an abortion will have no problem going to a clinic that performs abortions, so there is more to it than that.

  We all know how the president feels about abortion, he loves abortion. Remember, he considers babies punishment for bad behavior, or mistakes. He said the following about his daughters, “but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.” That was his potential grandchild that he was calling punishment.

   And then there is his refusal to vote to protect babies who were born alive when they survived late term abortion attempts. There is nothing more disgusting that I can think of in this world than that position. These babies were left alone, cold and crying until they died.

  So it comes as no surprise that a man as ideologically driven on the issue of abortion as is the president would consider it okay to force his opinions on others, including the doctors who are opposed to abortion. It comes as no surprise that he will force doctors to perform this procedure even if they find it immoral.

  This president feels that it is up to him to decide what is moral and what is immoral, what is ethical and what is unethical. He feels that he should be our conscience on issues of morality, and one way or the other we will eventually agree with him. Like it or not. Again we are subjected to this man’s arrogance.

  Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, who is also a OB/GYN has said that he would rather go to jail than to perform an abortion, and he also claims that there are many others like him. I for one hope that he is right. I hope that doctors will stand up for what they believe in and not bow down to dear leader.

  This is the most pro-abortion president that we have ever had, he considers any restrictions on abortion whatsoever as a threat to Roe vs Wade and that includes doctors who are opposed to the practice. He is for partial birth abortions where labor is induced and the child is halfway birthed only to have his/her brains sucked out or his/her spinal cord severed, and is for infanticide, as his non vote in the Illinois senate proves. The United States is now sending taxpayer dollars overseas so that you and I can fund abortions in other countries thanks to this president. He can’t have anything that he considers an attack on Roe vs Wade be implemented and we have seen the depths that he will go to in order to insure that there are no restrictions whatsoever on this practice. Even if it means forcing people to perform abortions who would otherwise be opposed to it.

  This issue goes beyond abortion and into another one of this president’s great loves; government intrusion. Two separate practices that I find vile on their own merits.
