Last month, the Chicago Tribune reported that the Obama administration will move to cancel “Protections for healthcare providers who choose not to participate in abortion related activities” — a radical and disturbing gesture to Christian medical professionals!

Take ACTION: Click HERE to send a message to the White House about this important issue.

Background
The current rule empowers federal health officials to cut off federal funding for any state or local government, hospital, clinic, health plan, doctor’s office or other entity if it does not accommodate employees who exercise their right of conscience. It applies to more than 584,000 health care facilities.

The Obama administration is doing the bidding of pro-abortion advocacy groups who seek to penalize health care providers who refuse to participate in abortions.

According to The Washington Post, Obama administration officials stressed that the proposal will be subject to 30 days of public comment. That is why it is so very important for you to let the White House hear from you today.

Speak up to protect this preeminent American freedom so it does not become subservient to the manufactured and illegitimate “right” that allows a mother to kill her unborn child. If the President rescinds the conscience rule, health care workers could lose their jobs or could have their professional licenses revoked for adhering to their deeply held religious beliefs.

Please act today — your conscience demands it!
