New Legislation by Bush Administration, Right of Conscience
The Bush Administration is proposing to pass legislation that would protect all health care workers from punishment by their employers, because they refused to participate in any procedure they find objectionable personally, morally, or religiously.
This legislation is mainly aimed at abortion, however it may have far reaching arms into areas like stem cell research, sterilization, and other care.
There have been legislation’s on this matter since the 1970’s, however it has not been enforced. The enforcement will consist of withholding funding to hospitals and clinics that employ workers who refuse to do their jobs and face consequences for it.
This would even include workers who sterilize operating instruments for a procedure they find objectionable.
With the last legislation leaving little doubt that they believe anything that interferes with a fertilized egg is abortion, they have pretty much set back woman’s health care to the back alley ages. Congratulations.
