| Re: Abortion Proposal Sets Condition on Aid It's a question of whether federal aid health care workers should be allowed to refuse to do abortions or supply birth control.
Despite 10's hysteria it's actually an interesting question.
On the one side I can't imagine literally forcing certain workers to do abortions or risk loosing their jobs. On the flip side I can't imagine a pharmacy or clinic that doesn't carry birth control, or doesn't carry it at a particular time when a particular someone is working.
But then again it only effects federally funded programs and from the sounds of it the whole thing merely aims to protect prolifer types from being fired. It doesn't advocate only hiring prolifer types so really I don't see the big deal. |
