People Should Not be Forced

The Bush administration has proposed stronger protections for health-care workers who refuse to participate in abortions, issuing a sweeping regulation that could also undercut access to birth-control pills and other forms of contraception (Wall Street Journal).

In an NPR interview, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said, "The basic idea is that people should not be forced to say or to do things they believe are morally wrong."

Does that include soldiers who don't want to kill Iraqis in an immoral and illegal war? The hypocrisy of this administration is staggering!!!

Jeremy Hinzman faces up to five years in prison because he refused to kill in Bush's war. Robin Long is now serving a jail term in Colorado. Support our soldiers, yeah right! Read about it at Democracy Now.
