It’s going to be pretty hard to bring charges against a physician because he or she refuses to kill.

It is unlikely to happen...

"Dr. Such and Such, you violated this woman's CONSTITUTIONAL right to terminate the pregnancy by refusing to supply her with the proper medical care procedures that was requested.

Enjoy your chains, by the way, you are still responsible for the student loans that mother government granted upon you. Next!!!"

**who has standing to bring action against them?**

That would be us, through the court system. The court would have to tell him to stop, if he refused, then...?

Which early President asked about the “army” the SC had?

Nope. Bush 43.

More outspoken and direct about the sanctity of life.

What has changed is Obama's FOCA which seeks to overturn the conscience clause already in effect. Physicians now have the right to stand for their moral principles and refuse to perform abortions. They have always had that right, and it certainly wasn't in danger during the Bush years.

Obama's goal is to remove the right to refuse to do abortions both for doctors and hospitals. That's why it became necessary for a strong pro-life President like George W. Bush to pro-actively delay the intent of Barack Obama to remove the conscience clause before he left office.

As I said before, there is no way you can distort this to be President Bush's neglect, no matter how much you'd like to do that.

He is the strongest pro-life President we have ever had. Bar none.

(And I have been part of the pro-life movement for over 30 years).

That’s it Obama America already has a severe shortage of OB?GYNs so let’s make it worse by making a bunch of them leave their practise.

[neverdem]

President Obama has been eager to find a middle ground in the touchy abortion debate.

Now that's a howler!
