abortions: Is this Constitutional? The NY Times Editorial (Dec. 26, 2008) called on President-elect Obama to call for new rules to force ALL health care workers to perform abortions, regardless of their personal beliefs!
Is the legal?
Will Obama actually listen to the many new calls and requests made by the far Left Loons emboldened by his election, to move this country far to the Left?

What say you America?
Please opine if so inclined, and don't be truculent in the No Spin Zone!
Bottom ....Feeder: Howard Stern is a fringe idiot, to the left of Michael Moron, and deservers no free publicity at my expence. I am a reputable independant, I don't need Lefty Loons taking cheap shots at me on MY show (if this encounter happened on HIS show...no one would know it ever happened)
 
The health care workers should strike until this law was repealed. What a mess that would be.
 
its an editorial meaning its one persons opinion. however if someone wishes to work in an industry they should have to perform all taks that the job requires
 
All the health professionals should on the behest of the concerned parties perform the abortion regardless of their beliefs.

Reason:

Imagine somebody is bleeding to death and someone (EMS professional in this case) decided not to help the victim because his (EMS) belief is in karma and he thinks the injured is just going thru his own karma hence no medical attention should be furnished.


Just imagine if this was the case. IF we all because of our beliefs start denying the basic freedom of others... (which actually happens) where would we be?
 
Maybe you need somebody you give a crap about to die because some doctor couldn't bring himself to perform a necessary procedure that conflicted with his religious beliefs.

Or is there anybody you give a crap about, outside yourself?
 
Hey Mr. No Spin Zone, why do you refuse to debate Howard Stern? Chicken?
 
It is unconstitutional. But Obama did say that he would sign the Freedom of Choice Act which would eradicate every single law ever made by local, state, or federal government that regulated or restricted abortion in anyway. This would also get rid of legal protection for those who refused to perform abortions. If Obama signs this bill, we are already on a fast track to having every doctor in this country turned into a baby killer or face civil charges. I don't care if I have had three c-sections already. If this happens, I will never have a baby in a hospital again. This is completely illegal, but that hasn't stopped the government from doing tons of illegal and unconstitutional things already, like the bailout.
 
First of all, ALL health care workers would not perform abortions because nurses, CNA's, pharmacy technicians, etc. are not qualified to do abortions. Only a doctor with the required credentials can do an abortion and nobody would propose changing this.

Can a Jehovah's Witness refuse to perform a blood transfusion as a surgeon and not get fired? No, of course not. They chose to enter a job where that is part of their job description.

Without a source link, it's hard to respond to this article specifically, but I don't see anything wrong with it, or for that matter I don't even understand how they are proposing to change anything.
 
If I were forced to perform abortions, I'd quit, or be insubordinate. They can throw me in jail for not murdering - I know a lot of people would be on my side.
 
I do not think health care workers should necessarily be forced to perform procedures they find personally unethical but they should also have that upfront and publicized which procedures they refuse to perform with the paperwork the patient has to sign.
