So.  Now you see why I'm so worried.  That is subtle, insidious, and entirely horrifying.

What is just as bad is that I had not known that there were already federal laws in place which specifically prevent medical institutions from refusing to hire people who will not perform their jobs.

People, I understand conscience.  I really do.  I don't want people to have to do things they do not want to do.  I strongly feel, therefore, that people who cannot cope with abortion, who object to contraception, should not be in medicine.  Those two things are cornerstones of health care, as well as basic human freedom.  Anyone who would deny them to a patient based on their conscience does not have anyone's best interests at heart.  Only their own.

I also understand these people do not want to have anything to do with what they see as taking a human life.  Again, if that is the case, if a person's grasp of biology and medicine is so weak that one can actually believe that a fertilized egg is of equal or greater importance than a woman's right to determine the course of her own life, I do not believe that person has any place whatsoever in medicine.

This, if passed, would be disastrous, and I urgently request that you do something.  Write a letter, speak to someone, pass the word around.  This must not go unchallenged.  Too much ground has been lost already.  This is a very real danger to the reproductive freedom of all human beings.  If this sort of thing is allowed to spread, it is going to affect you, your siblings, your children, your friends, everyone you know.

Please write or make a phone call.  Please do something.

Please.  These are your rights, too.

 OMFG I am devastated you have no idea it happened soooooooo fast! like within less than 2 hours!:( He was on sofa lying around and purring as always and i was brushing him. Then he coughed as if he had a hairball and he got down. Then i went to go in shower and im just getting undressed when mam shouts me. She was like "he cant walk his back legs have gone" :(so i start panicking run down stairs and he was lying there outside trying to stand up and then he started to cry :(

So i picked him up and ran him inside. Then he started to pant prob cause he was stressed and could not breath so well:( so we ran the vet and they said bring him right down. In the car he got so scared he just poohed all over poor mother. The vet put him straight on oxygen and put him in another room and she examined him. Said that she thought he had had a blood clot in his lungs that went to his legs and it caused him to loose all sensation. Then she goes "unfortunately" and at that point i died i knew what she was gonna say. :(So yeah he has gone all in under 2 hours. My head is all over the place i cant get around how he was ok one min and gone the next He was in our lives for 2 years and he brought so much happiness! =[
