Conscience Protections Must Not be Violated

snip..."But health care workers deserve much more than balloons and standing ovations. They deserve respect; respect for their status as free moral agents, not cogs in a giant health care machine. Such respect must include acknowledging and defending their right to not participate in certain “health care” procedures that many nurses and doctors hold to be beyond the pale of human decency, participation in which would violate their fundamental moral, religious, and ethical principles. Chief among such procedures is, of course, abortion."

snip..."And in still another case, this time from a nurse who was deceived into participating in a horrific late-term abortion, we have filed a Complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights. Our client watched horror-struck as what she was told was a routine and morally non-problematic post-miscarriage procedure turned out to be the abortion of a 6-months’ gestational age infant. The hospital she worked at, which had previously had a no-abortions policy when she was hired, had changed its policy following a merger to allow abortions. But nobody in the administration had bothered to tell the nursing staff of this change. After all, they’re just cogs in the health care machine. To this day, our client suffers flashbacks of a dying, struggling infant looking at her from a metal “specimen” dish. But when (following this procedure) she informed her supervisor that she could not participate in any future abortions due to her religious beliefs, she was unceremoniously told “you have no choice.” What if she were to find another staff member who was willing to take her place? Response: “No. I guess you need to look for another job.”

It is nauseating to see what our nation has become. . . . I can’t imagine why God allows us to carry on

God cries with us. He has allowed Man to run earth, and man took Satan in..... One day according to Revelations God indeed will have enough and send his Son back to destroy the evil, because it’ll be far worse than now.

Oh no. I can’t imagine that horror either. It is not health care. And drags the professional health care providers thru the antithesis of their calling.
