The Weekly Standard reports.  Excerpt:

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has taken a bold stand for religious freedom. In a recent statement, titled “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty,” the bishops call for repeal of contraception coverage mandated by the Department of Health and Human Services. The clarified position sets up a dramatic confrontation with the Obama administration—and would, if the bishops prevail, help preserve the religious liberty of all Americans.

OneNewsNow reports.  Excerpt:

 

"This is a clear affront and a violation of the fundamental religious convictions of the owners of pharmacies," he contends. "No pharmacist owner should ever have to choose between saving a human life and keeping their shop and business."

 

Many consider the Ninth Circuit to be the most liberal court in the U.S.

 Brad Dacus PJI

"This radical decision by the Ninth Circuit gives the green light to liberal state legislators and regulators to be able to clamp down on medical and other professionals with sincere religious convictions against supporting abortions," Dacus adds.

 

If the decision is upheld, pharmacists and owners with a conscience will have to choose between violating the law or going out of business. Dacus hopes the case will be accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Our friends at FRC have released a video grading President Obama on his first one hundred days in office.  The president doesn’t make high grades on pro-life and family issues.  LifeNews also reviews Obama’s 100 days on pro-life issues.

 

Neal McCluskey grades the president on education reform.  Excerpt:

 

If you look just at dollar signs or rhetoric to measure the education success of Barack Obama’s first one-hundred days, then the President should get an A. Base it on meaningful reform, however, and he’d be lucky to get a passing grade.

Alan Sears explains why the conscience rights of medical personnel to refuse to perform abortions or other unethical procedures must be protected.  Excerpt:

 

“Always let your conscience be your guide,” Jiminy Cricket used to sing to Pinocchio. Sounds like good advice, but then…Jiminy had his ulterior motives. To his mind, he was the voice of that puppet boy’s conscience – so he himself would be doing the guiding.

 

That’s pretty much seems to be the philosophy of the Obama administration when it comes to the “rights of conscience” of medical professionals. The team now pulling the strings at the Department of Health and Human Services has decided that preserving religious liberty – much less life in the womb – is a luxury the nation can’t afford.

 

And they expect health care providers to take their moral cues from the government…not their own convictions.
