'Right of Conscience'

I was reading an article this morning from the Los Angeles Times (Broader medical refusal rule may go far beyond abortion - Los Angeles Times ). Here is a snip it- By David G. Savage December 2, 2008
"Reporting from Washington -- The outgoing Bush administration is planning to announce a broad new "right of conscience" rule permitting medical facilities, doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health care workers to refuse to participate in any procedure they find morally objectionable, including abortion and possibly even artificial insemination and birth control." Oh my God! Are you kidding me? Where will this slippery slope end? A procedure they find morally objectionable , huh. Could that mean someone that is a racist would not have to save the life a non Aryan person? Morally objectionable? AIDS treatment? Treatment of any STD could be deemed morally objectionable to some. How about treating someone that is a heroine junkie? Morally objectionable. Oh, how about not having to working on drunk drivers anymore? Or what about the Muslim doctor that does not want to do Emergency surgery on local bigot Christian Minister and that doctor is the only one in the area qualified to do it? BUT it can now be deemed morally objectionable to this doctor. These holier than thou people always start this garbage, but THEN when they need the medical it is different. The laws they want to inflict on everyone else do not apply to them. For pro-life Bob Barr it was OK for his wife to have a safe and legal abortion, BUT NO ONE else should have that same choice. For people that have been able to have children do to the research of scientist that was a blessing for them but it should stop there. That is what they said when they stood with President Bush fighting against stem cell research. How quickly they forget when test tube babies were a new thing people asked if those children would even have a soul. For Tom DeLay , when it was time to end his fathers life it was a " private matter" and it was OK to pull the plug. However, for the rest of us DeLay thought it should be a public matter and that the Federal Government should decide, not family (Terri Schiavo, for those that have forgotten). So, excuse me if I have NO respect for those that are pushing this rule. I do wonder what they would think if President Bush was rushed to the hospital and doctor refused to help him because it was morally objectionable to save the life of someone that has overseen the death of so many Americans. I must wonder what they would think of their wonderful rule then. Not that I expect anyone from the "religious right" or Bush Administration to think that far out. I mean they have not so far, so why start now!
