Obama Favors Strong 'Right to Refuse' Protections for Health-Care Workers
Source: Washington Post
President Barack Obama said today that he still favors a "robust" federal policy protecting health-care workers who have moral objections to performing some procedures, even though he plans to roll back a Bush administration rule that expanded such protection.
Speaking to eight religion reporters at the White House before his first meeting with Pope Benedict XVI on July 10, Obama sought to reassure Catholic health-care workers that they would not be forced to perform abortions. Obama said he is a "believer in conscience clauses" and that a new policy would "certainly not be weaker" than what existed before Bush expanded it late in his administration.

Seriously, who'd want directions from a moonbat, anyway. They have no clue where they came from, no clue where they , and no clue how to get anywhere.

There were more comments along those lines above; real sweethearts, not letting people merge and so forth. Then, the anger turned toward Christians, of course, and then, the vitriol was aimed at Obama. **** YOU is what they said. "I disagree with this guy every time he opens his mouth."

It works like this, jizzbucket. Mrs. Tantal is a Registered Nurse specializing in high-risk obstetrics. She has saved the lives of numerous women and has literally brought newborn babies back from the dead. She also refuses to participate in an elective abortion. If FORCED to participate, she will simply find work elsewhere, thus depriving the medical community of a very highly-skilled professional. But you sick bastards would never let that slow you down in making a political point.
Further, while you cheer the two assclowns that fled to Canada to avoid Iraq, how about the remainder of the troops only protect those of us who give a shit about this country. You ingrateful sunzabitches can get deported to Afghanistan and Venezuela to be Bin Laden's personal knob-polishers and Chavez's official ass-wipers.

Damn, that's a helluva good idea! Think we can get it into the House of Reps and the Senate?
I know, I'm dreamin'!

They might be able to tell you which bus to take, but even that would be iffy.
