This week, Bush's people are finalizing a federal regulation allowing medical staff a right to refuse to participate in any procedure they object to on moral grounds. This is mainly aimed at abortion. The regulation is expected to be published this week, and it will take 30 days to be issued. For decades, federal law has said that health care workers can't be forced to perform abortions. The new Bush rules broaden the law to allow health care workers to refuse to provide information, such as a referral, to patients seeking abortions.
According to the Wall Street Journal, officials in Obama's administration are already considering when and how to undo the regulation. Officials close to Obama's transition team have stated they intend to begin the regulatory process to overturn the regulation. Click here to read more.
Too bad health care workers, under Obama's regulations you are not allowed to have a conscience. Very fitting for the new administration.
