(AgapePress) - A U.S. federal appeals court has upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by a pro-abortion group challenging an amendment that protects pro-life medical professionals from discrimination.
The Weldon Amendment, which was signed into law in December 2005, is a federal statute that bars the U.S. government or state and local government entities receiving certain federal aid from discriminating against doctors and other medical professionals who refuse to perform abortions or who refuse to refer patients for abortions. The amendment faced a legal hurdle just days after it was enacted -- a court challenge brought by the pro-abortion National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA).

Commentary: Not that the Weldon amendment was in any danger, but considering 90% of world hospitals are Catholic and near the same percent for street clinics on other Christian organizations “that would not be able to comply,” what are these liberal socialists trying for here? Win at all cost???
Resulting chaos and anarchy not in the picture huh?
Discus.
