Last week, President Obama rescinded the "conscience clause" under Bush's HHS, which was so broad that anyone could refuse health care service to someone if they morally objected to it. So, if your pharmacist didn't want to give you birth control because it is a sin? Tough luck, no service for you. The Obama administration has narrowly defined this particular clause so that medical providers are not forced to do abortions, but beyond that they must do their job.

But this hasn't stopped Fox News from blatantly lying about Obama's actions. What are they saying? That if a doctor doesn't perform an abortion for someone, THEY WILL GO TO JAIL.



Hats off to Fox News for playing their part as Culture War Propagandist.

I wish I had magical powers so I could make FOX News disappear. I really really do. It scares me to know that they influence people's opinions. *sigh*
