“It is the grimmest of ironies that one of the most savage, barbaric acts of evil in history began in one of the most modernized societies of its time, where so many markers of human progress became tools of human depravity: science that can heal, used to kill; education that can enlighten, used to rationalize away basic moral impulses; the bureaucracy that sustains modern life, used as the machinery of mass death, a ruthless, chillingly efficient system where many were responsible for the killing, but few got actual blood on their hands.”–Barack Obama April 24, 2009, Holocaust Remebernce Day, Chicago Sun Times.
I've been wondering what practicing physicians who are against baby killing are feeling now that President Obortion is rapidly deconstructing every foundational support this nation was built on, putting them in his cross-hairs.
When I've brought it up in conversation with doctors they seem to not want to talk about it.
This is the first I've seen those concerns in print. Thanks for posting it.

The winds of change are surely blowing across America. As Americans are fixated on the economic instability sweeping across our land, immoral agendas are corroding the foundations of our society. “Fair is foul and foul is fair/Hover through the fog and filthy air.” (McBeth - Act I scene i. line 10)
I travel extensively across the South with missionary and pro-life work and have held Respiratory Licenses in numerous states so that when I travel, I can work in Respiratory or Cardiopulmonary in these various states. Last week, I was called into the Arkansas State Board of Medical Examiners. This meeting had nothing to do with the practice of Respiratory Therapy or Cardiopulmonary technology or my practice of these disciplines over the last 28 years. The sole purpose of this meeting was over the “A” word.
Before they would give me my license in Arkansas, they wanted to be sure I would not let my staunch defense of life interfere with their agenda. This would seem to be to silence pro-lifers even in Catholic hospitals. After a barrage of questions introduced to label me as a pro-life fanatic unfit to work in any hospital in Arkansas, a member of the Board jumped up and said, “Would you try to talk anyone out of an abortion? We've actually had a few doctors who had the nerve to try to talk their patients out of an abortion.” In answer to their questions, I simply replied, “I only work in Catholic hospitals which do not allow or perform abortions, so this is not an issue.” In response, they said I will be seeing patients who weren't Catholic and those who had obtained an abortion and they didn't want me talking to them about the “A” word. So much for freedom of speech and freedom of religion in Catholic Hospitals.
It would constitute medical malpractice not to inform any patient of the adverse, harmful or deleterious effects of any medical procedure. This is called Informed Consent. It would be totally illogical not to inform a patient of the harm done to body and soul by this procedure except that surgical or chemical abortion is nothing other than the murdering of an innocent baby in his mother's womb; it wouldn't constitute a medical procedure so on these grounds no pre-op would be legally necessary.
A wise friend advised me to practice fortitude and be prudent like St. Thomas Moore when answering the Arkansas State Board's questions. I told him afterward that St. John the Baptist shouted from the rooftops while St. Thomas Moore practiced fortitude and prudence. Yet they both lost their heads. Precluding freedom of speech and freedom of conscience have never been a prerequisite for obtaining a Respiratory Therapy license in the past.
The winds of change are surely blowing and Obama is the windbag.

Since the Hippocratic Oath forbids doctors from sharing the secrets of their trade with anyone who does not take the oath, I’ve sometimes wondered what would happen if a doctor giving a speech at a medical conference were to ask everyone present to either take the Hippocratic Oath or leave.
How long before we won’t be allowed doctors who are not pro abortion, pro euthanasia, and pro gender change?

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
This was 20 years ago, and they were talking about the slippery slope of all this happening within a few years...(I personally found this incredible!...surely not!)
Well, we're there....we've been there for a while, and it's going to get worse!
Just wait...following “your conscience” will become “domestic terrorism” and immediately brand you as an “enemy of the state”
In a related situation, Catholic doctors have formed the Catholic Medical Association. For details, please go to cathmed.org.
