The irony of ‘pro-choice’ people
Earlier this week, Bush made an announcement solidifying the Health providers’ conscience rule. For the most part, this announcement only combines laws that are already on the books. There wasn’t a new bill passed. The rule provides doctors, nurses, and health care provider’s a choice to provide or refuse a treatment that they disagree with.
The irony of this is that people from the “pro-choice” camp are saying that it prevents people from getting abortions. What’s even more ironic is that these “pro-choice” people want to take choice away from health providers to force them to perform a procedure they think is unsafe or that they disagree with.
Why should it matter why? Doctors refuse treatments all the time when they don’t believe it is safe for the patient.
I cannot support HR7310 (sponsored by Rep. Diana DeGette [D, CO-1] and Rep. Louise Slaughter [D, NY-28]) or S20. These democrats, who are pro-choice, want to take choice away from doctors and instead give it in politicians. Call your senators and congressmen and tell them to vote these bills down!
