Is this rule strictly for “reproductive” procedures, or for anything that goes against one’s religion?

What I’m concerned about is something that we’ve seen on numerous threads about the goings on in Great Britain with muslim doctors and nurses. Women refusing to reveal their arms in order to wash. Refusing to use sanitizers, due to their alcohol content, etc...

I am just wondering if they might eventually start bringing that crap here...

The Catholic Church will not allow hospitals that they fund to take part in abortions.

I am not sure if this law will apply to them if they do not take federal funding. If it does Congress and Obama will have more blood on their hands.

Speaking of Congress, I did not see Pelosi with aahes on her head last Wednesday.

I wonder if the Holy Father told her not take part in the Eurchrist.

Sometime I think it would help to bring back the Hippocratic Oath, which in its several versions and translations includes the following:

I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.

I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a means to cause an abortion.

But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts. ... In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.

There ya go. Good old Hippocrates. No nonsensical muslim business about women not showing their bodies or using alcohol gel hand sanitizer, yet it covers most of the major ethical points: first, do no harm; speficially, don't kill patients; don't kill patients' babies; and keep your pants on.

It is already here because you have rejected the Founding Fathers Vision for our Nation.

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with
human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --October 11, 1798 John Adams
“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it.

We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity
…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.”
[1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]
James Madison
