Medical Proffesionals right to choose

Message sent by Melanie:

A message to all members of Team SarahTeam!
President Obama has decided that if a doctor or nurse refuses toparticipate in procedures they believe are morally wrong, like anabortion, they can be punished by their employer.

We have just a couple of weeks to tell President Obama and HHS howhorrified we are that he intends to take away the Right of Conscience forhealth care professionals. By law, President Obama is required to openthis policy change up to public comments for 30 days. Our time is almostup! Send your comments today.

Recently we received an e-mail from Mary, a health care worker and SBAList member, in Virginia, who told us,

I can assure you that my colleagues and myself will leave the professionrather than be forced to participate in such activities...I will not goagainst the beliefs I have lived my entire life following. Our countryalready has a critical shortage of nurses, doctors, and technicians tocare for the growing population who require experienced, dedicated workersto provide the extremely difficult and highly technical proceduresavailable. We have to take an oath to 'do no harm' before we receiveourlicense to work. I honor my promises, no matter the cost to mepersonally."

Mary, we are with you! We are shocked and heartsick about this. Maybeothers are too. We are making our voices heard!

This does not apply only to abortion. President Obama’s actions are adirect assault on the rights and freedoms of all doctors and nurses.

Make your voice heard. Especially if you are a health care professional,but its best that they hear from as many of us as possible.

Doctors and nurses should not be forced to participate in abortions.

The deadline is fast approaching. Please make your voice heard now.

Thanks,
Emily
