Obama Takes Next Step to Scrap Protections for Pro-Life Doctors on Abortion

Washington, DC -- President Barack Obama has taken the next step to remove the new protections the Bush administration put in place to protect pro-life medical centers and staff who do not want to do abortions. The protections provided better enforcement for existing conscience laws for medical professionals.

The Bush administration put the protections in place after learning that medical centers and staff were facing increasing pressure to be involved in abortions despite three federal laws prohibiting such discrimination.

Obama officials had told media outlets that the president wanted to merely clarify the existing rules, but the administration published in the Federal Register a proposal to rescind the pro-life protections entirely.

You can submit comments against the proposal via email at proposedrescission@hhs.gov.

This should bring about a shortage of doctors and closings of Catholic hospitals. Nice work usurper.

If you are pro-life, you are now disqualified to be in the medical profession....there are freepers who support this kind of policy.

Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath rejecting abortion. Not swearing allegience to Barack Obama.

Catholics and evangelicals who jumped onto 0’s commie train should take note, and don’t make the same, immoral mistake again.

He just gave his own babies a swing set, but he wants the babies of others terminated.

The man is a cold blooded killer.

The messiah is doing his best to bring us down and recreate Hell on Earth. I wonder how many people he can hurt before his poll numbers start to fall. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

The Kenyan Usurper is out to destroy the country on every facet and demoralize as many of us as he possibly can. He will not be satisfied until the white conservative middle class is totally destroyed...completely.

I wonder how Obama’s health care plan’s going to work without medical personnel?

This comes as absolutely no surprise.

We were hearing that Obama was saying he was gonna do this since the primaries.

Obama is pure evil.

Would be interesting to see a doctor refuse to do an abortion that would then end up in a Supreme Court decision.

Doctor's case, "How can I be punished for failing to commit murder?"

Obama has about 8 half brothers and sister by about 4 wives so I guess his father was pro something. As for his mother she had two kids, that we know of.

And this must be the fault of Mormons, Catholics, and African-Americans (Obama doesn’t fit in any of those categories):

Most of those are libertarians, who unfortunately are for the most part conservative. But on these issues they are no friend to the conservative movement.

What amazes me is how many pro-life people probably voted for him. Amazing!
