How about doing a procedure where the doctor thinks the risks outweigh the benefits? As in ver 99% of cases carying a pregnancy to term is far safer then having an abortion.

A mistake is considered an error in math. A baby is not a mistake.

“The administration’s new efforts to overturn the HHS regulation could mandate practices such as abortion or shut down many of the 557 Catholic hospitals around the country that treat millions of US hospital patients.”

I don't understand why Notre Dame wants to invite Obama to give their commencement speech. Do they want to see Catholic doctors forced to perform abortions and Catholic hospitals shut down?

[Oldpuppymax]

So who says living in a dictatorship isn’t fun!

[LiteKeeper]

That would make this Administration accessory to the crime of murder.

Catholic hospitals and medical services should simply shut down ALL OBGYN and maternity.

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!

Considering that most ob/gyns are pro-life, since it's hard to care for unborn babies and then deliver the same babies a few weeks or months later without seeing them as precious human lives, the headline should read:

Obama Forcing all Pro-Life Physicians to Retire, Resulting in Critical Shortage of Doctors.

Yes, much as he hates to do it, Obama is too busy to do them himself.

[Mangia E Statti Zitto]

I am honestly puzzled about something. Who is pushing for the repeal of the conscience clause? Abortion is a cash cow for Planned Parenthood. Why in the world would they want abortions available in every hospital? Who is behind this?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Yes, that is what he will do. He has absolutely no respect for the consciences of normal people. He will do nothing to anger the fang-toothed feminazis.

On a cool and rainy afternoon last week, Arlington Bishop Paul S. Loverde visited Virginia’s Democratic Sens. James Webb and Mark Warner to demonstrate Catholic opposition to the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) and any similar legislation. . . .

They brought 189,000 postcards that were the result of participation in a nationwide campaign by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to prevent the passage of FOCA. The local effort was coordinated by the diocesan Respect Life Office. The two senators received approximately 63,000 cards each while U.S. Reps. Gerald Connolly, Jim Moran, Frank Wolf, Bob Goodlatte, Eric Cantor and Rob Wittman will split the remaining 63,000.

The bishops state that FOCA goes far beyond even Roe v. Wade in allowing and promoting abortion, and would lead to the elimination of informed consent laws, partial birth-abortion bans, abortion clinic regulations and conscience protection laws.

If the Conscience Rule was issued during the last days of the Bush administration, and didn't become effective until the day of Obama’s inauguration, what did they do before it was issued?

[Sergio]

I hope that all people of faith who voted for Obama realize that actions have consequences.

Wouldn't it be ironic if rather than St. Peter, all the aborted babies were at the Pearly Gates, deciding who enters and who doesn't.
