Protests Over a Bush Rule To Protect Health Providers - NYTimes.com
WASHINGTON — A last-minute Bush administration plan to grant sweeping new protections to health care providers who oppose abortion and other procedures on religious or moral grounds has provoked a torrent of objections, including a strenuous protest from the government agency that enforces job discrimination laws.
The proposed rule would prohibit recipients of federal money from discriminating against doctors, nurses and other health care workers who refuse to perform or to assist in the performance of abortions or sterilization procedures because of their “religious beliefs or moral convictions.”
Well, yes, let’s leave office on a note emphasizing one of the most divisive issues in the nation and, furthermore, an issue which sees the GOP getting beaten like a drum almost every time.
George Bush - the gift that keeps on giving.
