Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who is also an OB/GYN, told CNSNews.com on Friday that many medical practitioners, including himself, will go to prison before agreeing to engage in medical practices they morally oppose, such as abortion.
Earlier that same day, the Obama administration had announced it was reviewing a Bush administration regulation known as the conscience clause. That Health and Human Services regulation protects health-care workers at federally funded institutions from having to engage in practices that violate their moral or religious beliefs. These practices include performing or referring abortions, performing sterilizations, or giving or receiving training in these practices.
Federal funding is widespread in the health care sector owing to such programs as Medicare, Medicaid, the newly expanded SCHIP insurance program for children, and the many billions in federal funds spent each year on medical research.
The Obama administrations review is considered the precursor to rescinding the regulation.
I think a lot of us will go to jail, Coburn told CNSNews.com when asked what would happen if the administration reverses the policy. Lets see them prosecute the first one of us for not doing that.
By that comment, Coburn meant that doctors, himself included, are willing to defy the law before agreeing to perform medical procedures that violate their conscience, a Coburn spokesman clarified.
Coburn spoke to CNSNews.com after he delivered a speech at the annual Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
It's a matter of control. The democrats need a certain number of Republican tax slaves to stay in power. Too many tax slaves turns into too many Republican voters. Not enough slaves and the democrat dependents lose their government cheese.
Taxation controls the number of Republican slaves being born.
If there are too many dependent democrats, the Republican slaves won't be able to produce enough to feed them all.
Abortion controls the number of democrat dependents being born.
It's a matter of balance. Kill off the extra, useless democrat eaters, keep just enough to stay in power, and keep a minimum of slaves working to maintain them.
The democrats need the power over life a death to stay in control.
Biblical prophecy says he'll receive a mortal wound to his head, be diagnosed as clinically dead for three days (like Christ), but will still mange to survive. He'll be paralyzed on his right side. He will do everything in his power to see that the people of the world suffer like never before because of it - especially Christians and Jews (because he's Muslim). I think this is prophesied to be late within his first term (near the end).
Don’t worry. The One will ensure that prisoners will be counted in the Census and can vote.
As I said on another thread. This will remove not only doctors but nurses from the system. There is already a shortage. Even if people don’t choose to go to prison, they will choose to find other jobs.
Always question any Planned Parenthood supporter:
“How much money does PP get if a woman chooses not to abort?”
Leftists just look for such excuses to commit murder of dissidents under color of law.
Older folks will be written off and left to die...
....Only after they vote democrat because of frightening MSM news flashes of republican plans to cut medicare....
Then die ‘with dignity’ grandma!!!
The scenario in a 1970’s conspiracy book was that the feds were “too successful” in their initial gun raids, rounded up too many people to detain, and just had to let some of them slip back into the underground.
Men died that day. But American was born. It is time for a rebirth.
Ping.
You don't have to fear prison. Re-education camp, perhaps, but not prison.
You´re absolutely right. This isn´t a John Wayne western, where the good guy gets beaten up, then takes a stand for what´s right and wins. It´s 1984. The good news is that we will all learn to love Big Brother.
Then Biden takes over? Oh, boy.
Again, thanks for a thoughtful post. As you're aware, most of the things you mention are already happening as a term of condition of employment in the public sector and in academia. We all know of examples.
References, please?
Technical note: “Nineteen eighty-four” was in 1984. Back then, Big Brother used an IBM PC AT, and kept most of his records on paper. He had few cameras, databases, biometrics other than fingerprints, tapped phones the old fashioned way, and at least knew who our national enemies were.
Big Brother kept up with the times, and then some.
What’s this about a guy named Farrakhan being Obama’s REAL dad, and THAT’S why he keeps the birth certificate under SEAL? Can anyone here elaborate and give more details?
This makes me wonder why pro-life doctors don’t just schedule all abortions on Thursday — and then call in sick on Thursdays...
