Why does Obama like to pop these changes concerning the killing of babies, late on Friday afternoon??? Don’t believe me, go do some checking on the changes he has made over the last few Fridays.
Back to my original question… Because he is a coward and does not care about the killing of innocent life. He could very well end up being a truly evil president.
Not only does he not care about killing innocent babies, but he thinks it’s ok to force doctors to commit the crime.

Obama to rescind Bush abortion rule
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama plans to repeal a Bush administration rule that has become a flash point in the debate over a doctor’s right not to participate in abortions. The regulation, instituted in the last days of the Bush administration, strengthened job protections for doctors and nurses who refuse to provide a medical service because of moral qualms.
A Health and Human Services official said Friday the administration will publish notice of its intentions early next week, opening a 30-day comment period for advocates on both sides, medical groups and the public.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the notice has not been completed.
The Bush administration rule was quickly challenged in federal court by several states and medical organizations. As a candidate, President Barack Obama criticized the regulation and campaign aides promised that if elected, he would review it.
The news that he was doing so drew praise from abortion-rights supporters and condemnation from groups opposed to abortion.
“It would be a horrible move. These regulations were a long time coming,” said Tom McClusky, a vice president at Family Research Council. “What they seek to do is protect patients, nurses, doctors and other health care professionals from being forced to violate their consciences.”
McClusky and other abortion opponents said the Bush regulation clarified federal policies and raised awareness about the rights of medical providers to follow their consciences. But abortion rights advocates said it was vague and overly broad, and could reduce access to other services — allowing a drug store clerk to refuse to sell birth control pills, for example.
“I think it’s a wonderful step,” Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., who co-chairs the Congressional Pro-choice Caucus and has introduced legislation to overturn the regulation, said of Obama’s move.
“That rule was actually a poorly drafted last-minute attempt to, I think, restrict health care access and I think it would have had far-reaching and unintended consequences.”
Federal law has long forbidden discrimination against health care professionals who refuse to perform abortions or provide referrals for them on religious or moral grounds. The Obama administration supports those laws, said the HHS official.
The Bush administration’s rule adds a requirement that institutions that get federal money certify their compliance with laws protecting the rights of moral objectors. It was intended to block the flow of federal funds to hospitals and other institutions that ignore those rights.
But the Obama administration was concerned that the Bush regulation went too far and could also be used to refuse birth control, family planning services and counseling for vaccines and transfusions.
The White House released a statement saying that Obama supports a “carefully crafted” conscience clause — not Bush’s version.
“He believes this issue requires a balance between the rights of providers and the health of women and their families, a balance that the last-minute Bush rule appears to upset,” the statement said.
The administration will review comments from the public before making a final decision. Options range from repealing the regulation to writing a new one with a narrower scope.
The administration’s move was first reported by the Los Angeles Times.

Jeesh, here we go again. 12 year old Lia needs to have a conversation with The One to set him straight on abortion. The libs are concerned with a woman’s right to abort yet don’t give hoot about a doctor’s right to morally object and try to save a life.
I guess we really don’t have to worry…after socialized medicine is introduced in this country you’re going to be hard pressed to find a doctor that is willing to continue their practice because they no longer have a say in any treatments they want to provide their patients.

“The administration will review comments from the public before making a final decision.”
Yeah, just like they were going to give the public a chance to review legislation passed by congress before it would be signed into law by the One, and we all know how that worked out with Porkulus.

What I’d like to know is why he keeps insulting the intelligence of the American people by saying things about allowing our input when he has no intention of listening to it anyway.
Oh, yeah. He already knows his own followers are morons (or else he’d never been elected) and the only people left with any common sense are those ‘evil right wingers’ that no one listens to anymore anyway.
Jen,
I think we all have it figured out now. When comrade Obama talks about transparency in government, he really means, transparency according to he and his censors. Their reality is different from ours, and that’s exactly the way it’s intended to be.
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock how long until the lid blows?

I was talking with my Sister and Brother-in-law last night and I came to find out that they both had absolutely no idea of the Illinois Senate voting record of Hussein in regards to his stand on live-birth abortion. They are both very religious (Lutherans) and I’m surprised that my B-I-L is so still so pro-Hussein. Even after their retirements funds are back down to below 1997 levels (my Sister’s words).
When will some, seemingly intelligent, people finally learn exactly what Hussein was, is, and will be? “Stroke of the pen . . .”

Gio,
You began this blog with “Why does Obama like to pop these changes concerning the killing of babies, late on Friday afternoon???”
We, of course, know why. Late Friday afternoon is the perfect time for Obama to introduce very controversial ideas and policies because the administration is counting on people being distracted by the weekend, thus not paying attention to the new measure.
Yet another example of O’s subtlety and sneakiness. Both are trademarks of evil because the good have nothing to hide and are always open and above board.
DCG and everone,
We all need to start praying really hard about this and about stopping socialized medicine being passed. It would be a horrible nightmare and like abortion, it would also devalue all human life, as treatment would be rationed to healthy people, as opposed to the elderly and others they deem would be unfit for care. I also hate to think of the medical staff and the administrative staff. You would be numbers to them and they wouldn’t even provide a smile in the waiting room. They know they wouldn’t get fired, after all, they’d all be government employs guaranteed to get a paycheck every two weeks. They’d have job security. Please, Lord, see that this isn’t passed!
