Comments on: Feds: Doctors Can Refuse To Do Abortions

Bush Administration Proposes Stronger Job Protections For Doctors Who Object To Procedure

[keithle1]

Hey, GrammaWhamma, EVERY time EVERY woman in the world gets pregnant she should have the baby?

You don''t approve of abortion at any time or just during the last trimester?

How about condoms? Do they make sense? Or are they the work of the devil? Is birth control evil?

Are you Catholic, GrammaWhamma?

[grammawhamma]

Why are abortions legal but assisted suicides are illegal?

At least in an assisted suicide it is adult asking to be killed. In an abortion the baby has no say so...it''s death is at the whim of it''s so called mother.

That is a c r o c k of nonsense. If I am a mechanic, I can choose to specialize in brakes, I don''''t have to work on transmissions. Why should a Dr. be forced to perform abortions if he or she prefers to be a pediatrician?

I think you are getting a bit hysterical. No on forces anyone to perform abortions. I doubt there is a dermatologist in the country that has ever performed an abortion. This is just a silly bit of fluff that Bush wants on the books so he looks like a Christian.

When the Emergency Room Jehovah''''s Witness doctor refuses these proponents of "religion-based medicine" a blood transfusion because it is "against their religion" you will hear these fascists CRYING and WHINING like the little authoritarians they are.

if a doctor refuses to treat you from you heart attack or a gun shot wound because you look like a athiest liberal moron THEN THAT IS WRONG.

NOW IF SAME DOCTOR REFUSES TO PERFORM A procudure to kill a live organism then he has every right..

come to think of it...same people would not even blink and abort a fetus but will fight heaven and earth to save a murderer..SOMETHING IS WRONG

[minnick8-2009]

It''''s hypocritical to work in a field you have those types of objections about.

I think it is great that the feds have ruled that Drs. have a right to decide whether or not they will perform abortions. Conversely, I think Drs. should also have a right to decide if they will perform artificial insemination and on whom.

[libsluv2spit]

well it seems like these liberals THINKS that artificial insemination and abortion is a CRITICIAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL PROCEDURE..worth in the same level as humm a dying person in an accident..or dying of a heart attack..

again if other people are not willing to be part of thier lifestyle..then you are a facist..a racist.. a nazi..etc etc etc..

[libsluv2spit]

I am sure that there is enough athiest doctors in there that will be more than willing to perform the abortion..NOW WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU INSIST ON A SPECIFIC DOCTOR??

[libsluv2spit]

I''''m a doctor & my religion states that I can''''t provide any medical services to Christians. I came across a bad accident involving a car & a bus. When I saw that the bus belonged to the Holy Bleeding Blessed Heart of His Almighty Holiness God, I got back in my car & drove away without providing any assistance.

Sorry, Christians.

****

and what religion is that?? liberalism??

[keithle1]

What a shock. Let me put my eyeballs back in my head. Imagine the Bush admin doing this...it boggles the mind.

[kansas1946]

I think this is probably a bunch of feel-good legislation that really doesn''t mean much. Is there some case where a doctor was forced to perform and abortion, or fired because he/she didn''t. I have never heard of anything like that but I would stand corrected of anyone has any data to the contrary.

[steeepe]

Health care workers should not be allowed to withhold legal medical procedures from patients on religious or moral grounds. What if attorneys could refuse to represent defendants on religious or moral grounds? This is just more bullcrap moralizing by the the self-righteous Bush administration. I can''t wait until these b*stards are out of office.

[me4prezz]

It isn''t about working in a field or not. That is the same as saying that she shouldn''t have gotten pregnant and that would save her from having an operation! If a doctor doesn''t feel comfortable performing an abortion, they should not be penalized for it. There are hundreds to thousands of practioners willing to perform this procedure, why punish those who are not willing to perform it? It is not compromising her health care, but protecting those who are against it and I am all for this bill and it is one of the only things the Bush administration has done that I actually agree with!

[dbrunk57]

If you have a moral or religious objection to something, then don''t work in that field. It''s that simple. It''s hypocritical to work in a field you have those types of objections about.

This article is a DISTORTION.

The real truth is that this regulation will allow the Feds to STOP CONTRACEPTION. THAT is the NEWS.

[magoo2u1]

"I am also pro-choice and have no objection to this proposed rule if that is as far as it goes."

Until your child can''t get a drivers license because the State employee , A Muslim, refuses to process one because she is a woman. It''s a religious objection of conscience you see. These things always sound good when it''s you denying someone else but when you get the short end of the deal your gonna whine real loud.

"I don''''t think so! I also believe that no-one and I mean male or female has the right to put their hands ( in violence) on any other person".

I absolutely agree. The DNA of the child growing in the pregnant mother is different and therefore seperate from the mother. This child should not be violated as you stated.
93% of all abortions are commited for convenience.
7% for rape and or other.

I''ll keep my "johnson" at home...

[noloyalisti]

Taxpayers can refuse to pay their taxes to the corporations to start wars for oil, too. We can boycott and general strike to bring the fascists to their knees.

[afmca]

I am also pro-choice and have no objection to this proposed rule if that is as far as it goes. The only issue is that opening up a policy for a morality objection could put others at risk. Will other doctors asked to be exempted from treating g.a.y.s or AIDS patients because of their religious beleifs object to those lifestyles? Can southern doctors again stop treating blacks if their morality find them objectionable?

Will pharmacists asked for the same objection to dispensing birth control and morning after prescriptions based on the religious beleifs thus putting women at risk? What happens in small towns with only one pharmacy - does the pharmacist become God?

Again I don''t object to this exemption; but we need to ensure there are no more!
