In "Right to Health" on Thursday, the writer makes an intelligent defense against the "conscience clause." However, while focusing on whether a doctor has an obligation to inform patients of every option, he misses the most important argument facing doctors. Most pro-life doctors do not want to be forced into performing abortions. The Obama administration's policies on health are summed up by the head of Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius, who said not allowing abortion is "forced slavery." The administration wants to have all federal funding eliminated for any hospital that supports a doctor who refuses to perform abortions. If you force pro-life doctors to perform abortions, you will destroy the entire health care system and lose a huge portion of excellent doctors and nurses. We can't afford to open the door to even worse situations, like forcing doctors to end the life of a cancer patient who doesn't want to suffer. The best doctors in the world do what they do because they believe in helping people in need. For the sake of all Americans, don't force them to do something they think is immoral.
