READ THIS!

This was brought to my attention by a classmate in our newly-founded Christian Pharmacists Fellowship:

If you are not familiar with FOCA, it is the Freedom of Choice Act - President Obama has promised to pass this bill and Congress is likely to take it up. If you aren't familiar with it check out Liberty Counsel at lc.org to get more details. January 23rd marked the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and to "honor" that President Obama signed an executive order rescinding the "Mexico City" policy which banned federal funding for overseas abortion. FOCA would overturn every state law putting any restriction on abortion (parental consent, informed consent, partial birth ban, everything). For example, if informed consent were removed those who administered abortions would not be able to tell the woman anything about the procedure or the risk it has for her physically, they'd just have to do it without question. And what really concerns me as a future pharmacist is that it would deny us (health providers) the right to object to participate in the act - so essentially if I refused to dispense the abortion pill I would be fired from my job! It's ironic that the "Freedom of Choice Act" takes away my freedom to abstain from something that I believe to be disgusting, immoral, and a sin. At least the previous legal situation regarding abortion included everyone's rights - the "pro-choice"ers could choose to get abortions, and the "pro-life"ers could choose not to get involved in that process.
