Conscience upheld in Arizona Courts
Without a conscience, what is a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist except a technician willing to follow the whims of law? (Again, this is not sound-bite material!) I received an e-mail from the American Defense Fund concerning the lawsuit against the State of Arizona by Planned Parenthood over a law to protect those of us in … Continue reading

ACOG: Abort or refer
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) have finalized and published their Ethics Statement # 385.

>This subject again. CNN, that bastion of upstanding plants ethics, objects to doctors with morals – or at least the ones who act on them. The CNN video (not a “news piece”) shows interviews with a woman who was refused contraception by one doctor and a second interview with another doctor who is Catholic and … Continue reading
>Give me liberty or give me condoms!
>Where are the condom squads who go around making sure that every grocery store, drug store, and 24 hour convenience store stocks latex condoms and the appropriate lubricants, “at all times”?

>Some Bloggers shouldn’t reproduce

The Governor threatened to replace the members of the State Pharmacy Board if they … Continue reading

The Catholic … Continue reading
