I don't like the idea of this blog becoming a channel for negativity, only pointing out the bad things that Obama and his administration is doing, but there are too many things that cannot be left un-pointed-out. Conservatives have seen through Obama's "agent of change" crap from the beginning. We've known all along that the only "change" Obama is here to bring are bigger government, more taxes, and more socialist-leaning policies.
What could be considered more socialist than the announcement from the Obama administration last week that they are acting to reverse a federal rule that gives physicians and other medical providers the right refuse involvement in medical services that they find morally objectionable. The "conscience protection" rule, passed by the Bush administration, "protects the right of medical providers to care for their patients in accordance with their conscience," stated Mike Leavitt, former Secretary of Health and Human Services. The of the services covered under the rule include abortion, emergency contraception, birth control, in vitro fertilization, stem cell research, and assisted suicide.
Are they serious? Isn't it enough that Barack Obama wants not only to legalize most of these procedures, but to fund these kinds of procedures with our tax money? And now he wants to legally obligate doctors and others to take part in these procedures? Where is your respect religious freedom, B. Hussein Obama? Are doctors not free to "choose" just as you believe all patients should be?
You may do what you want, Obama, but those of us who work in health care will gladly go to the dingiest jail you can find before giving up our values - and our freedom.
