Repealing the rules, which officially took effect on former President Bush's final day in office, said Stevens, "sends a clear message: It's open season on health care professionals of conscience — discriminate at will."

It is good to see that President Bush saw these rules as so important that he wasted no time and implemented them on the very first last day of his administration.

You do understand what the phrase "took effect" means, don't you? Not proposed. Not drafted or signed into law. That's when they finally took effect.

Since the first thing Bush did on his first day in office was throw out Clinton's executive order paying Federal funds to foreign abortion providers and stopping abortions on military bases abroad, your snarky comment is proof of your ignorance.
