The Bush Administration has drafted new rules that would force Planned Parenthood and other health care providers to hire people who disagree with their most basic mission. From Nancy Pelosi’s blog:
While current law allows health care providers and professionals to refuse to provide abortions based on their religious beliefs, this provision would threaten the funding of organizations and health facilities if they do not hire people who would refuse to provide birth control and defines abortion so broadly that it would include many types of birth control, including oral contraception.
So as they prepare to bring their “scorched earth” strategy vis-à-vis the federal government to a close, the Bushies want to ensure that family planning organizations are forced to hire some percentage of the loonies who picket them. Great idea.
I think I’ll put on my witchiest outfit and see if they will hire me at the local Catholic Archdiocese.
