As one of his last acts as President, George W. Bush put in place conscience protections for medical professionals who do not want to participate in abortion. The new rule attempts to strengthen needed enforcement of laws which protect conscience. One of the main things the new rules do is to give employees better access to agencies which assist with employee discrimination.
President Obama is seeking written comments at this time before he overturns the Bush conscience protections. The deadline for comments in tomorrow, April 9. Please act today and urge that the Bush conscience protections be preserved.

Anywhere he can find a spot, President Obama is interjecting his ardent pro-abortion and anti-life philosophy. From appointments to Executive Orders to funding to promoting abortion worldwide, Obama is feeding an abortion frenzy unlike anything we’ve seen.
Unknown to most of the world, the Obama administration promoted an unlimited right to abortion worldwide at a recent United Nations meeting. His first judicial appointment is an ardent pro-abortion advocate to sit on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the appeals court to which Wisconsin belongs. A mere $50 million went to the UNFPA, a group that assists China in its forced abortion regime.
In the midst of this one-sided onslaught, Obama attempts to soothe the American public into thinking he agonizes over these issues and really wants to reduce abortions.
Many thanks to our friend Steve Ertelt at LifeNews.com for putting together the Obama pro-abortion/anti-life record to date. You can find the full report here.
The pro-abortion crowd just hates it when unborn children are recognized in the law as individuals worthy of respect and protection. They don’t care in which context the unborn child is recognized … they will always oppose it.
How well we remember the pro-abortion lobby opposing the Fetal Homicide Law which recognizes unborn children as separate victims when they are killed or injured as a result of violence perpetrated against their mothers. The Fetal Homicide Law, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with abortion. But for pro-abortion zealots, recognizing the unborn child in the law in any context is a threat to their ultimate goal of securing unfettered abortion with no restrictions whatsoever … and getting the taxpayers to pay for it!
Right now at the state capitol, Governor Doyle’s proposed budget, which is under consideration by the Joint Finance Committee, would remove any mention of the unborn child from the BadgerCare Plus program so that they they would no longer be eligible to receive health care under that plan.
Unless unborn children are specifically deemed to be eligible under BadgerCare Plus, they could be denied life-saving treatments and surgical interventions that are carried out in-utero before the child is actually born.
In these life-threatening situations, the unborn child is THE patient who is being treated for a condition unique to that child. These serious situations cannot be resolved with the routine pre-natal care the child’s mother receives under BadgerCare Plus. Unless the unborn child is considered eligible to receive care under BadgerCare Plus, unborn children could be denied in-utero interventions to save their lives.
There are many in-utero treatments and surgeries that are preformed to save the lives of unborn children in the United States. Some of them are: spina bifida corrective surgery; Operative Fetoscopic Laser Therapy to treat Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome; Hypolastic Left-Heart Syndrome where a stent is inserted into a malfunctioning heart; Fetal Urinary Tract Obstructions; surfactant replacement therapy for lung development; tumors of the lungs; fluid in the lungs; tumors along the spine and many other surgeries and therapies.
Isn’t it outrageous that the term “unborn child,” is so threatening to the pro-abortion movement’s radical agenda that they would deny life-saving treatments to the most vulnerable members of the human family?
Call your state senator and Assembly representatative today and tell them to reject any attempts to remove the unborn child from eligibility under the BadgerCare Plus program.

Several frustrating things are happening with the new Congress. The first is the railroading of bills through the Congress under rules which allow no amendments or debate.
As the appropriations process is underway, the right-to-life movement could lose over 30 years of work to place right-to-life provisions, such as prohibiting taxpayer dollars for abortion, into appropriations bills without a chance to amend from the floor.
Now, National Right to Life warns that a “bait and switch” effort is going on to expand federal funding to include the creation of embryos to be destroyed for research purposes. Included will be a “clone and kill” provision which would allow clones to be created but require that they be destroyed for research purposes. All of this will be “sold” under the pretense of “progress.” The victim at the end is the Dickey-Wicker provision to the Health and Human Services appropriations bill which prohibits such practices.
So much for acting in a bipartisan manner — it is rhetoric without clothes, a sham.
