Conscience & Medicine.

Here is an email I received just last week:

Dear ,

How would you like it if the government forced you to act against your conscience?

In the past, we could have this argument in an abstract way, likening that kind of behaviour by the state to totalitarian regimes that are distant to us in both geography and history. Today, however, this kind of tyranny is being forced upon the health-care workers of Ontario thanks to the highest court in the province.

The Court of Appeal for Ontario ruled on May 15th that doctors have to give referrals for euthanasia and abortion even if it goes against their deeply held religious or moral beliefs.

We pray that this diabolical ruling gets appealed and defeated at a higher court, but if it stays in force, it means that doctors across the province will need to refer their patients for abortions and euthanasia, thereby (in a very real way) taking part in these heinous acts.

TAKE ACTION: DEMAND CONSCIENCE PROTECTION LEGISLATION

We need to demand that the lawmakers in the House of Commons, our members of parliament, take this decision out of the hands of activist, left-wing judges, at least partially, and pass legislation to protect doctors from being forced to violate their consciences

Campaign Life Coalition recently launched an Action Alert Email campaign in support of MP David Anderson’s private member’s bill, C-418. This law will make it a criminal act, punishable by incarceration, for employers to coerce health-care workers into participating in euthanasia, including by forcing them to refer patients to another doctor who is willing to kill the patient.

You can visit our website, and, in under a minute, write your MP to ask that they support The Protection of Freedom of Conscience Act. This much-needed bill is expected to be debated around May 29th.

There are many great health-care professionals across the country who are deeply opposed to abortion or euthanasia for religious and ideological reasons. Unfortunately, because of this latest court decision, these good folks will have to find work in other professions in order to live with a clean conscience.

   Well, how would you like it if the Government asked YOU -  no forced you, to act against your conscience?  Perhaps, like many, you wouldn't care.   But you better realize that once your Doctor is no longer allowed to exercise his conscience, you are not going to like it at all.   Conscience is what keeps people, including physicians on the straight and narrow.  It is what makes people undertake responsibilities that they might otherwise avoid.  It is the judge that sits on our shoulder and adjudicates whether what we do is right or wrong.  It is a cruel mistress and regardless of what the man-made laws of the land dictates it will punish relentlessly those who do not take it into account.  Most, but not all of us, can discriminate between right and wrong.  When the mob wants something, whether it is marijuana, freely available late-term abortion or physician dispensed death (and that's just the beginning!) they will do everything in their power to get what they want.  When people of conscience stand in their way, they will do anything to undermine them.  Not satisfied with physicians whose morals prohibit them from  being a part of this movement, the rulers and the legal system wants to coerce physicians to submit or to get out of the profession.  (an arbitrator actually said that.)
   The  Government and the administridiots who serve them are determined to suppress anything that might undermine their nefarious plans in the interests of cost cutting and votes.  They will be quite happy to humiliate and expel from the profession  anyone who dares to stand up to them, particularly when principal and ethics are the motivators.  The Health Care system has been turned away from  its humanitarian 'raison d'etre' into a political vote gathering game.

This is just the beginning. Amazingly, most folks don't seem to care until it involves them or their family. Comment if you have an opinion. Don't say I didn't warn you !!
