White House preparing health care bombshell

* David Savage, Washington
* December 3, 2008

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.

For more than 30 years, federal law has dictated that doctors and nurses may refuse to perform abortions. The new rule would go further by making clear that health-care workers may also refuse to provide information or advice to patients who might want an abortion.

It seeks to also cover far more employees. For example, in addition to a surgeon and a nurse in an operating room, the rule would extend to "an employee whose task it is to clean the instruments", the draft rule said.

The move could set the stage for a divisive abortion controversy in the early months of the Obama administration. During the campaign, President-elect Barack Obama said there was a "moral dimension to abortion" that cannot be ignored, but he also promised to protect the rights of women who seek abortion. And while the rule eventually could be overturned by the new administration, the process could take months of wrangling.

Now this. He's also been screwing around with energy policies, employee rights, endangered species, and National parks in the past few weeks. What a scumbag . . . right down to the bitter end.

A POX ON HIM.
