Washington, DC -- A new national poll of Americans finds a strong majority want President Barack Obama to keep conscience protections in place for doctors and medical centers. The president is considering rescinding the protections the Bush administration adopted to enforce three federal conscience laws.

The protections make it more clear and provide support for doctors or medical facilities that feel pressured to participate in abortions.

Support for this new regulation outpaced opposition by a margin of more than 2-to-1 (63% vs. 28%).

Thanks for the post, but I have one question? When did Washington ever consider the wishes of the American people?

Mary
 
At the Cross, Mary weeps for her Son.
 
In today's world, Mary weeps for all the aborted children.
 

Pray for an end to abortion in America.

Notre Dame and just under 50% of Catholics (CINOs) support baby killing and Islamo baby killers.

I hope the Good bishops continue their smack down with ND. There is no debate on partial birth abortion and post birth murder that Hussein favors. Catholics and even CINOs should not have to think a second about this.

Babies are more important than ND stinking football and basketball teams and their sports franchise.

Action Item!

This regulation is still open for comments until April 9th:

HHS Comment Page for This Regulation

Click on "Send a Comment" to submit your comments.

I hope the link doesn't "time out", I found it in a search. If so, the website is Regulations.gov and then do a search for "Conscience", then choose "HHS" for the agency and it should take you to the page linked above.

Let's turn their trial balloon a lead one!

Since when did the politicians and President Obama care what the people want?

Steve - he’s a rebellious and lawless one, in league with the one who comes to steal and to kill. Hence, he will do whatever he pleases, regardless of the people of this nation want or say.

Sadly baby murder is being supported by “Catholic” schools like Notre Dame, Boston College and St. Johns to name a few.

I know the nuns who run my local hospital, which is excellent, will close it down if O even mentions abortions. The nuns do not mess around.

We need zero tolerance on partial birth abortion and post birth murder that Hussein supports.

>>>>>>"... 87 percent believe it is important to “make sure that healthcare professionals in America are not forced to participate in procedures and practices to which they have moral objections."

Obama to America: who cares what you want. I’ll tell you what you want and you gonna like it or else.

Since when as Hussein done anything but what Hussein wishes.

"Hussein's wishes" track very tightly with those of his major political supporters: Planned Parenthood (in this case), labor unions, gun banners, homosexuals, etc.

He's not America's president. He's the front man for those far-left special interests, and in their name he's hijacking America.

He’s not America’s president.

He’s definately not my president. Most of everything he REALLY stands for, I’m against. Middle America needs a real President - not a prop.

Yes, that's the same percentage of voters opposed to gay marriage; we can see how that is going.
