Yes, that’s right I addressed you by your first name. Listen, Mister Man, I got something to say to you.
First of all, No I did not vote for you and yes I am conservative. But, for the record, as long as you don’t muck everything up too much with your liberal agenda, I will continue to support and sustain you, just like I said I would. I didn’t make too big of a deal when you decided that you could spend my tax dollars on foreign abortions, so you’re welcome, but the conscience clause, really?
That’s taking it a little too far.
(To sum it up, the conscience clause allows medical professionals to abstain from performing procedures that conflict with their consciences/morals and Mr Obama would like to rescind that policy).
I am not an abortion fan, Barack. I feel that in certain situations it is appropriate and perhaps even necessary. But as a general rule, I think life is precious and should be supported. There are many couples who would love to have children who would be happy to love and raise any pregnant woman’s unwanted child. That said, however, I support the idea that everyone has a right to choose their own path. People can make their own choices. That’s the way it should work.
Everyone has a right to choose.
And that is why I support the conscience clause.
It does nothing to take away abortions. It only stands to allow doctors and nurses the same "freedom to choose" as you, Barack Obama, think women should have in their reproductive decisions.
For you to rescind the conscience clause is for you to essentially deny a different set of people the right to choose. And that is hypocritical.
And frightening.
Because if you can take away the choices of medical professionals, who’s next? Are you going to take away my choices too? Right now, I choose not to work on Sunday. I choose not to smoke or drink. Will you make me skip church to work for your government and take a mandatory smoking break? Will you force me to have pain medication when I don’t want any? Will you make me get an abortion against my moral conscience if my family gets too large? How far will you go or not go?
You are walking a dangerous line, Barack. You better back down. Don’t you dare take away someone’s right to choose in the name of free choice. Don’t be that kind of man. Don’t be that kind of President. Leave it be. Just leave it be.



You go!! Great article! maybe we can get the word out so that he doesn’t just slip this one through on the sly, keeping it hush hush. I see nothing about it on his website. So much for transparency

Wow! I’m not American, but I have - like the rest of the world - been following American politics for sometime. I totally agree with you. Its scary when such rights are taken away - and in such a hush hush manner. Makes you wonder what’s next, eh?

I very suprized to not have heard of this one. We are well on our way to becoming Socialist. This new issue is a tough one b/c I don’t believe in abortion but if I was a pharmacist I’d think it was my job to give the person whatever they ordered and it’s none of my dang business. But I can see how a doctor should have those rights so they can keep their morals with their practice.

Ashley– you bring up a good point about the pharmacist thing. I guess if I was a pharmacist and someone wanted the morning after pill I personally would just give it to them. I mean dispensing something is not the same as performing an operation. Like, I don’t drink alcohol, but if I was a grocery clerk I wouldn’t stop someone from selling it. But giving someone a pill for an abortion and looking the other way is vastly different than being forced to deliver and actual fetus.
