Below is a copy of a message straight from the Americans United for Life website. The Department of Health and Human Services is accepting comments from the public until April 9th regarding the proposed removal of conscience protection for medical professionals. Read the article below or go here to learn more.
Dear Friend,
Imagine if the only doctor you could find to deliver your baby was also an abortionist.
That's Planned Parenthood's new goal -- to run every pro-life healthcare provider out of the medical profession. According to David Stevens of the Christian Medical Association, a Planned Parenthood lawyer told him in a recent debate on National Public Radio (NPR), "If you are unwilling to provide a legal healthcare procedure, you have no business being a doctor."
In other words, if you're a doctor who is not willing to perform an abortion, get another job.
Last year, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) implemented an important rule that forbids hospitals and other healthcare programs who receive American tax dollars from discriminating against pro-life doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers.
Now President Obama wants to overturn it.
This radical agenda of Planned Parenthood will cause thousands of healthcare workers to be targeted with discrimination claims by allies of the pro-abortion lobby.
Is your obstetrician pro-life? Planned Parenthood would prefer that you have no doctor at all than for your doctor to be pro-life. Shortages in doctors already exist -- one-third of rural woman live in counties with no OB/GYN.
U.S. Senator and practicing obstetrician Dr. Tom Coburn told CNSNews.com that he was willing to defy the law if President Obama tries to force pro-life doctors into doing abortions:
I think a lot of us will go to jail. Let’s see them prosecute the first one of us for not doing that.
AUL and AUL Action joined with allied groups to create the Freedom2Care coalition and fight back.
Right now, HHS is accepting comments from you about whether they should keep or rescind these important regulations protecting pro-life healthcare professionals. Whether you're a patient or healthcare professional, I need you to send your message to HHS through the Freedom2Care.org website and tell them to keep the rules in place and prevent discrimination against pro-life doctors.
Patients -- Comment Here
Healthcare Professionals -- Comment Here
Deadline: Midnight, Thursday April 9
In addition, please contact your Members of Congress and ask them to support conscience protections for pro-life healthcare providers.

Healthcare Professionals Contact Congress Here
We can't allow Planned Parenthood and their pro-abortion allies to force pro-life professionals out of medicine. Please stand with me today in defending their right to keep caring for us.
For life,
Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D.
President & CEO AUL Action

I was hoping that the sheer stupidity of this latest evil would keep it from being seriously discussed... we are already in a national healthcare crisis and hospitals are already struggling. WHY would we shut down hospitals and run doctors out of their profession over this issue?
It makes no sense. There is no misguided logic behind this... only evil. Evil beyond our comprehension.
This breaks my heart and strikes a chord of fear. My husband is an ER doc so he shouldn't be directly effected but we have friends who will. We must pray!!!
