So what do you think? Vote now.
Here is my take on it. I think it would be a bad decision - a blow to the personal freedom of those who have an honest ethical disagreement on abortion, and rescinding the conscience rule would not allow them to practice their faith. Those who know me here know that I am not against abortion, and I have posted my position repeatedly. However, it is not up to the Federal government to legislate what morality is, one way or the other. We saw enough of this from Bush. Let us let Obama know that we do not accept the Federal government's sticking its nose into personal affairs.
The way I see it, if someone is against abortion, they have the right to refuse to counsel people on getting abortions. If the patient does not agree with the health care worker's stance, she can always go to a different health care worker who believes that abortion is OK, and is cool with counseling for it.
It's all about personal freedom, folks, something that both Republicans and Democrats, given the opportunity, would like to flush down the toilet.
