A Choice...

In a recent news report, The Obama administration announced plans to reverse a regulation allowing health-care workers to refuse to provide services based on moral objections. The law, expanded on by the Bush Administration, was written 30 years ago. Essentially, it established a "conscience clause" for "health-care professionals who do not want to perform abortions."

If this reversal passes, it would no longer offer doctors the choice to refuse performing abortions on moral grounds. The liberal media is praising President Obama for this decision, claiming that he is putting the best reproductive health care options before ideological demands.

The BEST reproductive health care? Really? This just astounds me. For anyone to stand up and say that killing unborn children, the MOST innocent and helpless population in our society, is to provide the best health care options possible, is simply to ignore basic human facts.

Aside from the fact that abortions kill the child and are dangerous and damaging to the mother, which should be reason enough for any mildly ethical person to reject them as WRONG, it is an egotistical cop-out to include them as a viable option for "reproductive health care." If a woman is irresponsible, lazy, or immoral with her choices regarding sex, the logical result is pregnancy. This is not rocket science; it's basic cause and effect.

Of course, our society has totally ignored these truths in favor of the feminist movement. Women should be free to have sex as they please, with whomever they choose, and not have to pay for the inevitable "consequence:" an unwanted child. The result? Reproductive health "care" now includes murder, simply because the mother does not wish to be held responsible for HER actions.

Let's be frank: there is no valid or reasonable argument in favor of murdering a child. Any rhetoric that validates abortion in our society is focused solely on the woman and her "rights". No terms like mother, child, life, death or murder are used, which, to me, further proves that people know, inherently, that abortions are wrong. After all, there is no way to ignore the scientific fact that conception produces life. But, as this reversal of the conscience doctrine shows, we would rather blind ourselves to the truth in favor of having what we want, when we want it. And not only that, we are now eliminating the right to call it wrong.

I'll leave you with this, a quote from President Obama: “Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby."

I think that says it all.
