**War Against Conscience Rights *

*by Nancy Valko, RN*

First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did 
not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and Trade Unionists but 
I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the 
Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for 
me, there was no one left to speak for me.

Lutheran theologian and pastor who opposed the Nazis

In December 2008, the Bush administration announced stronger protections 
for health care providers' conscience rights, protecting them from 
workplace discrimination. In February 2009, the Obama administration 
quietly started the process of overturning those conscience protections.*1*

These actions did not occur in a vacuum.

The stage was set several years ago, when a concerted effort was started 
by abortion supporters to force pharmacists to supply Plan B (the 
"morning after pill") without a prescription --- despite some 
pharmacists' moral objections to this drug, which can cause an abortion 
shortly after conception (according to the manufacturers' own 
description of Plan B's actions)...[continued at link...]

      BREAKING: Tiller's Abortion Facility to Close Forever

        "Operation Rescue was just 2 months away from getting Tiller's
        medical license revoked and that would have accomplished the
        same goal."

WICHITA, Kansas, June 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a statement 
released today, the attorneys of late-term abortionist George Tiller 
confirmed that his Wichita abortion facility would shut its doors 
permanently, following Tiller's murder last month.

"The family of Dr. George Tiller announces that effective immediately, 
Women's Health Care Services, Inc., will be permanently closed," stated 
attorneys Lee Thompson and Dan Monnat today. "Notice is being given 
today to all concerned that the Tiller family is ceasing operation of 
the clinic and any involvement by family members in any other similar 
clinic."

The statement went on to praise Tiller's "service and courage" and 
asserted that Tiller's family would honor his memory through "private 
charitable activities." 

The attorneys also emphasized that the medical records of Tiller's 
former patients would "remain as fiercely protected now and in the 
future as they were during Dr. Tiller's lifetime."

George Tiller, who was perhaps the most notorious late-term abortionist 
in the United States, was shot and killed May 31 at the Lutheran church 
he regularly attended. Hours later, Scott Roeder of Kansas City was 
apprehended and charged with the first-degree murder of the abortionist.

Over 60,000 unborn children are believed to have been killed in the 
Wichita facility at Tiller's hands since he began his operations there 
in 1975.

"It is a bittersweet moment," wrote Operation Rescue president Troy 
Newman in an email about the closure of the abortion centre. "Operation 
Rescue was just 2 months away from getting Tiller's medical license 
revoked and that would have accomplished the same goal."

Operation Rescue, which moved its headquarters to Wichita in 2002 to 
focus its resources on shutting down Tiller's sordid business, was the 
leading source of peaceful resistance against the abortionist's 
burgeoning business for several years.

ATLANT, June 9 /Christian Newswire 
<http://www.christiannewswire.com/>/ -- Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral 
Associate of Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 
today reacted to remarks by late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart that 
compared the killing of George Tiller to the assassination of her uncle.

"For LeRoy Carhart to mention the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 
who worked through peaceful and non-violent means, in the same breath 
with that of George Tiller, whose work ended peace and brought violence 
to babies in the womb, is offensive beyond belief," said Dr. King.  "The 
analogy is just wrong."

"Dr. Carhart also speaks of hate crimes," added Dr. King.  "I would 
simply ask him, is it not hateful to regard an entire class of people as 
non-human because they're unwanted?"

Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, also commented, 
"The message of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was that every human being 
has equal dignity.  LeRoy Carhart and every other abortionist violate 
that message every time they dismember a baby.  The comparison is 
ridiculous."
