Tuesday, August 10, 2004Later this week, the American Bar Association will consider a resolution introduced by its Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities, which sets forth its opposition to government policies that interfere with the "ability of patients to access, in a timely manner, either directly or referral, medically appropriate care." ....It is this core exercise of religious conscience — and the government's accommodation of it — that the ABA finds so objectionable. .....No one at the ABA seems to see the irony in the fact that a resolution seeking to override the exercise of religious conscience by thousands of Catholic health care providers is being proposed by a committee devoted to the protection of "individual rights and responsibilities." Apparently, the free exercise of religion is not an individual right protected by that particular committee. And comments like this: National Journal quotes a trial lawyer at the Democratic convention: 'Oh, it's over the top. The stars lined up, absolutely. This is the absolute A-team.' The gentleman was talking about the Democratic ticket from the point of view of his profession. It makes me fear that four years of Kerry/Edwards will do more to destroy personal freedom than any other Administration in recent history. UPDATE: The American Bar Association withdrew their resolution. posted by Sydney on 8/10/2004 08:00:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
