Barack Obama wants to revoke the "“conscience clause” regulation instituted by George W. Bush, meaning that the new administration could declare war on doctors, nurses, administrators, pharmacists, and so on who refuse to participate in such evil acts as abortion.Well, Tom Coburn, Oklahoma's Republican Senator and a principled OB/GYN physician is telling Obama that he, and many others will joyfully go to jail before they cave in to such a sinister, totalitarian and unconstitutional act.
This is a terrific preemptive salvo launched by Senator Coburn and it should be followed up by doctors, nurses, clergy and everybody else. Write your Congresspersons, Senators and the President, letting them know how despicable and socially damaging a revocation of the conscience clause rule would be. Acting now to stop such a horror from ever getting out of Pandora's Box is a far more effective policy than trying to stuff it back in there.
And a note thanking Senator Coburn is in order too.
