They are doing a great job by themselves. Their abortions and love of the gay and drug loving life style will eliminate most liberals in a couple of decades.

Democrat leaders want to force doctors and nurses to participate in abortions against their consciences under a new bill introduced Tuesday.
The legislation, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, of California, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, of Washington state, and U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas, of New Hampshire, would eliminate a new conscience protection rule for medical professionals that the Trump administration finalized earlier this year.
The rule protects the religious freedom and conscience rights of medical professionals who object to abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia. It allows taxpayer funding to be withheld from health care institutions that force medical professionals to help participate in these acts of killing.
However, Lee claimed that conscience protections allow doctors and nurses to discriminate against patients. Her bill would permanently block the rule from going into effect.
“Our bill will ensure that no one is denied the care they need based on a provider’s personal beliefs – because the only thing that should dictate patient care is what’s best for the patient,” she said in a statement.
Abortion and assisted suicide are not health care, though. They contradict the purpose of the medical profession by killing the patient, rather than providing care for them.
Pappas argued that adequate conscience protections already exist in the law.
“While conscience-based protections already exist in law, this extreme rule puts patients at risk,” Pappas said. “We must ensure a provider’s personal or religious beliefs do not compromise patient care.”
But this also is not the case, as became evident after a Vermont nurse said her employer forced her into helping abort an unborn baby even though it knew she objected. The Trump administration is fighting to help the nurse after she said a doctor tricked her into helping end the baby’s life by telling her it was a miscarriage.
The Trump administration said it is investigating several other conscience protection violations as well.

Though most Americans believe medical workers should not be forced to help with abortions, a court recently struck down the new conscience protection rule. Twenty states filed the lawsuit seeking to overturn the pro-life conscience protections, putting doctors and nurses at risk of being forced to do abortions or refer for them.
Murray praised the court ruling and insisted that their bill is needed to make it permanent.
“While courts have ruled with patients and health care rather than ideology and hate and halted President Trump’s harmful plan to support discrimination for now, people’s health care shouldn’t hang on a court decision,” she said in a statement. “We’re introducing this legislation to make sure that no matter who you are, your care is based on your medical needs and not someone else’s beliefs.”
Ironically, a number of groups that call themselves “pro-choice” support the legislation, including the ACLU, NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood.
As LifeNews reported, the new regulations, issued by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, provide regulatory backbone to the First Amendment conscience rights of Americans working in the medical profession and will help ensure that no doctor or nurse will be forced to violate their conscience while serving patients.
Although the Constitution and numerous federal laws provide robust protections for the conscience rights of medical professionals, these laws are being violated as doctors, nurses, and medical students are being compelled to participate in abortion. The regulations clarify what recourse is available to victims of discrimination under the law and what penalties the HHS Office of Civil Rights may enforce for violations.
The Trump administration said religious freedom is at the heart of protecting those medical professionals who do not want to be forced to be involved in abortion.
“This rule ensures that healthcare entities and professionals won’t be bullied out of the health care field because they decline to participate in actions that violate their conscience, including the taking of human life,” OCR Director Roger Severino said in a statement, previously. “Protecting conscience and religious freedom not only fosters greater diversity in health care, it’s the law.
“Laws prohibiting government funded discrimination against conscience and religious freedom will be enforced like every other civil rights law,” Severino said.
Now I ask you who are in the healthcare industry with all the information I've given you do you really want to be forced to do abortions? You have just read about it because of me, reading about it is one thing, doing it is another.
We must stop these evil democrats dead in their tracks. They don't have to do the abortions but they have no problem with forcing you to do their dirty work.
Sounds more like your typical Slave Contract being codified in to Law by the DEMOCRATS
They have these announcements at the end of beer commercials and casino’s that state: please drink responsibly and please gamble responsibly. They should have something similar like - please have sex responsibly.
Let”s just ABORT the demo RATS.
.
These democrats are supremely antagonistic because they are horrible, evil people.
Whatever happened to “Do No Harm” ?
This is just one (horrible) reason that HEALTH CARE IS NOT A RIGHT. The level of leftist idiocy and evil has no limits.
They rewrote the Hippocratic Oath!
This is very simple and my view
we have the party of death and the party of life
Whatever happened to “Do No Harm” ?
That died a couple of decades ago. You and I were not told that it was dead.

First, do no harm!

As an important step in becoming a doctor, medical students must take the Hippocratic Oath. And one of the promises within that oath is “first, do no harm” (or “primum non nocere,” the Latin translation from the original Greek.)
Right?
Wrong.
While some medical schools ask their graduates to abide by the Hippocratic Oath, others use a different pledge — or none at all. And in fact, although “first, do no harm” is attributed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, it isn’t a part of the Hippocratic Oath at all. It is actually from another of his works called Of the Epidemics.
They are doing a great job by themselves. Their abortions and love of the gay and drug loving life style will eliminate most liberals in a couple of decades.
A certain FReeper complained to me just last night that I’m a terrible person
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I had to go check because that was hard to believe. I’m sure the words of such an idiot will not deter you but just still wanted to let you know that your posts are greatly appreciated.
Keep it up, Dems...
Before long you will find that medical students are going into Prostate & Podiatry instead of anything connected to Pregnancy.
THEN-—Let’s see what you intend to do.
I remember when Hillary was talking about taking over the entire 14% +++ of the USA GDP/economy that she indicated that doctors & other practitioners would be paid an amount set by the FEDERAL government.
Within days, the number of applications to medical school plummeted.
Given how far America has fallen in the past 50 years, dare we even try to imagine where she’ll be in another 50?
Resistance to President Trump good; resistance to abortion bad.
I’m surprised this hasn’t come sooner since Democrats hate America and Christians equally.
Let’s see what you intend to do.
