Senate Panel Defeats Amendment to Protect Pro-Life Medical Workers on Abortion

WIth no "conscience clause" the bill backe a non-starter.

At the same time there's some staffer there who wrote it up that way ~ he either intended it as a "poison pill" or he's entirely too sociopathic to have a job on the Hill.

An investigation should be made.

Not at all surprising, but sad. I really don’t know how most of the democrats can face themselves in the mirror, or how they can look at their own children and wonder “What if. . .” A (another) sad day.

If they are going to force doctors and nurses to perform abortions, most of them will quit practicing medicine.

Alot of us will just go to a barter system. Possibly set up clinics outside of the States or hopefully in Free States.

They want to force the Catholic hospitals to close. This will cause a “crisis”, and the government will seize them.
