Steven, nobody favors forced abortions. C'mon.

If health care providers oppose participating in certain medical procedures, scientific research or the dispensing of prescribed pharmaceuticals because of their religious beliefs then let's have a conversation on those merits.

Your argument not only doesn't advance that point of view it impedes it because your statement is simply not truthful.

Medical personnel can have all the freedom they want as long as the boss knows (because he is the one who may get sued), and they visibly post or wear a name tag with the information so a woman will be able to choose a different doctor or get her prescription elsewhere. Women should have a choice too, you know, it's THEIR body.

Maybe you would rather have a sign on the wall in the pharmacy: "No birth control or morning after pill here.If you were brutally raped last night and you get pregnant, that is God's will. And if pregancy is God' will that means it was also 'God's will that you be brutally raped, you must have deserved it. So take your sorry bruised and swollen face out of here

Now we know Obama, Planned Parenthood and these others favor forced abortions. So much for freedom of choice if you are a medical professional.

"Your boss doesn't know".."The patient doesn't know. The hospital doesn't know" "No one knows"..
And therein lies the problem, the patient might not get proper treatment or pharmaceuticals and could die. The boss and the hospital, the taxpayers, could, and should, get sued for malpractice.

If this edict doesn't get thrown out with the 60-day rule, the dissenting professionals should have to post very visibly in their office or pharmacy or, preferably, on a tag on their shirt that they do not give women reproductive options or dispense birth control pills. If it's not posted they should be sued.
