(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. House of Representatives voted 245-182 today to passthe Conscience Protection Act, which prohibits government from discriminating against health-care providers who do not want to perform or cooperate in abortions.
The bill also gives such health-care providers the power to bring civil action if they are targeted by such discrimination.
The key section in the bill states that “the Federal Government, and any State or local government that receives Federal financial assistance, may not penalize, retaliate against, or otherwise discriminate against a health care provider on the basis that the provider does not (1) perform, refer for, pay for, or otherwise participate in abortion; 3 (2) provide or sponsor abortion coverage; or (3) facilitate or make arrangements for any of the activities specified in this subsection.” more
In case you needed extra to get pissed off:

In his comments to reporters after the Wednesday meeting, Obama repeated his suggestion that white racism caused the shooting murder of five White or Hispanic police officers in Dallas, and he showed reporters that he’s fully supporting the radical activists’ campaign against the nation’s police leaders.
A show vote before the primary and General election.
Even if the senate votes to move the bill on….Obama would veto. Numbers aren’t there to override a veto.
Ironic. I wonder, did they exempt themselves, as usual? But then, they have to turn in their ‘conscience’ when they take office, don’t they? I get confused by their gerbil exercise spinning.
