The road to perdition (to The Bee)

The Obama administration is about to declare conscience obsolete by rescinding the sweeping federal protections that were granted in December to health care workers who refuse to provide care that violates their personal, moral or religious beliefs.

The issue arose when a doctor conscientiously objected to providing artificial insemination service to a lesbian, and was besieged by unreasonable activists. It would have been an elective procedure, and there is no reason a person, who has devoted years of training and considerable expense to his profession, should not be permitted to refuse to perform any elective procedure he opposes for any reason, medical or otherwise. Isn't that what American freedom is all about?

Any diminution of freedom, and attacks on conscience cannot be allowed to stand. Therefore, you might want the Obama administration to know that we cherish our liberty, and morality is important to us. Start being heard before it's too late.
