The Bush administration yesterday announced plans to implement a controversial regulation designed to protect doctors, nurses and other health-care workers who object to abortion from being forced to deliver services that violate their personal beliefs.
..."People should not be forced to say or do things they believe are morally wrong," Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said. "Health-care workers should not be forced to provide services that violate their own conscience."
...Both supporters and critics said the language remains broad enough to apply to contraceptives, as well as many other areas in medicine...
..."For example, an operating room nurse would assist in the performance of surgical procedures; an employee whose task it is to clean the instruments used in a particular procedure would be considered to assist in the performance of the particular procedure," the regulation states.
Are you fucking kidding me? If you object to abortions and you're working in the health care field in a facility that provides them, and you are forced to work with people who choose to have them, my question to you is "Why the hell don't you get another job you fucktard?" Don't shove your religious bullshit down other people's throats.
