Dear Pro-Life Colleague, Just a note to remind you that today is the day for you to bury you conscience. After all, in January the current government gave us all about 6 months to beat our conscience to death (in favor of the federal government conscience). Time’s Up! Today we must bury the dead thing, and become a clone of the HHS conscience, and a clone of the President’s conscience as well on this issue—6 months ago, he made the speech about “accommodation” to the Contraceptive Mandate, and gave us about 6 months to cleanse ourselves of our troublesome prolife leanings, and dispense abortifacient medications to patients who request them. Religious doctors, religious individuals, and religious institution were told in January they could maintain their freedom of religion—until Aug 1, and from that day on, leave it at the door. If you aren’t touched by this Mandate yet, you will be. And whatever you do, do NOT read the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees you and me the right to freely exercise our religion. If you read it, you may become confused. The current leaders prefer to pretend Article One does not refer to this part of your religious freedom. And they are in charge. You are a Hippocratic physician? Well, Government says erase out the line about not doing abortion. Are you ready to stand for your freedom of conscience and freedom of religion? Be active, stand with AAPLOG, stand with CMDA, stand with Catholic Med Assn. Oh yes, and stand at the ballot box in Nov and vote your conscience values. And check out www.freedom2care.org Meantime, we will try to keep you informed on this issue. Jdc/AAPLOG
