President Barack Obama is considering an astonishing proposal that would eliminate the religious freedom and right of conscience for doctors and other medical workers in favor of the so-called “right” to abortion. (Read more at the American Family Association.)

Congress has upheld the First Amendment rights of doctors who believe that abortion is murder for more than 35 years now, thus protecting the right of medical workers to freely exercise their faith. But now, President Obama wants to use the heavy hand of government to make this preeminent American freedom subservient to the manufactured and illegitimate “right” that allows a mother to kill her unborn child. If the President rescinds the conscience rule, health care workers could lose their jobs or could have their professional licenses revoked for adhering to their deeply held religious beliefs.
