Freedom of Choice, or Imposed Morality?

I've just discovered a very scary bill, backed by the left, that is making it's way around the House and Senate. It's called The Freedom of Choice Act. It would, if passed, invalidate every restriction on an abortion before the stage of viability, in every state, even those previously found consistent with Roe v. Wade by the United States Supreme Court, such as parental notification laws, waiting periods, requirements of full disclosure of the physical and emotional risks inherent in abortion, and the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

Let me first say that I am pro-choice. I believe the Row V. Wade was ruled on shaky constitutionality, at best, but I can't say I'm unhappy with the recognition of a woman's right to choose whether or not she wants to be a mother, in the same way men have always been able to choose. Having said that, this bill is scary and completely unconstitutional. It is one thing to force a pharmacist to fill prescriptions for birth control or the morning after pill, as it would be anarchy to allow pharmacists to make a moral judgment on the perscriptions they fill. What if they are morally opposed to Vicadin or Oxy-Cotin, for instance? But it is QUITE another to force surgeons to perform abortions if the are morally opposed to the practice.

What does this mean for America? First of all, it is an example of the Democratic House and Senate trying to skirt public desire to pass liberal legislation now that there is an incoming liberal President. These "morals" that the left are pushing are not congruent with pubic opinion, but rather fit into the left's idea of what society should be. Some would call that social engineering. And it's interesting that the political party that condemns the right as "christian fanatics" and that thinks Republicans are trying to push morality on the masses, find it completely fine to push their own moral agendas.

And what does this mean for doctors? If the "big brother" democratic government is going to force doctors to perform abortions, no matter what their moral opposition to the surgery, then isn't that an infringement of his/her most basic constitutional rights? Even if I'm pro-choice, i cannot fault a person for being pro-life? Trying to protect unborn children is not a crime, is it? I guess according to Obama and the leftist nuts in congress it IS a crime.

And, finally, what will this mean to the medical industry? If Catholic Hospitals shut down, as they have threatened to do if this passes, the country's medical industry is going to be in dire straits. What is the left trying to do? Do they really thing imposing this sort of thing will be beneficial to the country? They cannot be that dumb? Do they really want to ostracize their Catholic voters? That's not smart?

And what about Roe v. Wade? The left declares that the ruling is under attack ever other minute (though one should keep in mind that Roe v. Wade has never been challenged, even under a Republican Congress and President). Don't they realize that by aggravating the pro-life community, which makes up more of the population than you might think, they are putting Roe v. Wade in danger. There is no way that the pro-life movement or the republican party would let a ridiculous bill like this pass into law unchecked. Therefore, its constitutionality will be rules upon (and will be foudn unconstitutional). Since one already has to squint to see the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade, the right will not stop at this bill. They will, once they win a Supreme Court battle on the Freedom of Choice Act, move to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Don't the democrats realize this? Of course they wouldn't care. They are far left ideology, with Messiah Obama as their leader. They believe in a secular progressive world where all religions are allowed but Christianity, where morality is only the morality of the left, where socialism reigns supreme, where America is an apologetic country and Europe and Canada walk all over us. These things seem stupid, right? Well that's the leftist agenda, and if you think Obama is "really a moderate," you should know that he considers this bill "extremely important" and would "sign it immediately" should it make its way through the House and Senate. Interesting...
