Geez. I thought you bitter assertive Hillary supporters wouldn't resurface on a thread that has nothing at all to do with politics. You never cease to amaze...or disgust me.
You might want to actually think about what you're going to post before you actually post it. You're assuming an awful lot that isn't there, and are coming across as an... well, in a less than positive light, let's put it that way.
It's the self-proclaimed "party unity my ass" crowd.
Well it was rude.
And this DOES have to do with politics...
The only ... I don't like are the ones that assume things about me without having met me.
My whole point in this discussion was that, if a doctor didn't want to perform an abortion (which is LEGAL) would they be forced to under this law.
I agree those things shouldn't have been brought in...
But to answer your question. NO. Not even close.

Can you quote anything I've ever posted that directly indicates I'm a Hillary supporter?
(Hint: Only one post ever. I dare you to find it.)
And yeah, my answer was shitty and smart-ass. I was tired and a little sick of your shrill bullshit.

This ruling is bullshit. Plain and simple. There are enough doctors out there (especially in the United States!!!) that if a few don't want to do a procedure the patient can always find a doctor who will do it. If the facist section of the leftwing had it's way this law would apply to abortion as well. Granted, I still think the doctors in this case are boobs, but what about a law like this pertaining to abortion. The government cannot force a doctor to perform an abortion if he/she does not believe in it...can they????
"Shrill Bullshit"
Are you sure now?

Medical service is medical service. The public is the public. If you don't like that or can't put your personal convictions aside when required, then maybe a career in the health professions isn't for you.
Mark this date... we agree.
I got along famously with bizarro BVS.
"The Bush administration's proposed regulation poses a serious threat to women's healthcare by limiting the rights of patients to receive complete and accurate health information and services," said Cecile Richards of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "Women's ability to manage their own healthcare is at risk of being compromised by politics and ideology."[/B]
Contraception is not abortion.
...abortion-rights activists, and others, however, condemned the regulation, saying it could create sweeping obstacles to a variety of health services, including abortion...
...end-of-life care...
Leavitt said he requested the new regulation after becoming alarmed by reports that healthcare workers were being pressured to perform duties they found repugnant. He cited moves by two professional organizations for obstetricians and gynecologists that he said might require doctors who object to abortions to refer patients to physicians who would.
A draft of the regulation that leaked in July triggered a flood of criticism from women's health activists, family planning advocates, members of Congress, and others. Concern focused on fears the definition of abortion could be interpreted to include many forms of widely used contraception.
HHS: Doctors can refuse abortions
Proposed rule cites religious, moral objections
By Rob Stein, Washington Post | August 22, 2008
WASHINGTON -
"It's breathtaking," said Robyn Shapiro, a bioethicist at the Medical College of Wisconsin. "The impact could be enormous."
But both supporters and critics said the regulation remained broad enough to protect pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and others from providing birth control pills, Plan B emergency contraception, and other forms of contraception, and explicitly allows workers to withhold information and refuse to refer patients elsewhere.
