Stories of Discrimination

"I am a Registered Nurse currently employed at an outpatient podiatry surgery center. Last week; I was told by my administrator that OB/GYN doctors had signed on to perform surgeries at our center. There is a very large Catholic Hospital across the street that specializes in OB/GYN services. So it was very strange that these doctors would come to our small podiatry center. Our administrator stated there was a possibility abortions would be performed at our surgery center. Three of the four nurses stated they wouldn't assist with abortions due to convictions/ethical beliefs. Our administrator responded with, 'If you have a problem assisting with abortions, we have NO PLACE FOR YOU here." She stated, 'As nurses; you don't have a CHOICE!'"

Our Goal: To educate and persuade the public, policy makers and the medical community regarding conscience rights in healthcare.

Freedom2Care is a coalition organized by the Christian Medical Association Join CMDA to bring together organizations and individuals who recognize the value of preserving historic American civil rights and freedoms in healthcare.

An immediate goal of the Freedom2Care coalition is to protect the federal "provider conscience" regulation finalized in December 2008 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

 

In the long term, the Freedom2Care coalition seeks to educate:

* the public, so that patients recognize and advocate for their freedom to choose and retain access to healthcare professionals who follow life-affirming standards;

* policy makers, so that our leaders recognize the historic American ideals of tolerance and fairness that prompted and should secure the civil rights legislation regarding conscience rights in healthcare; and

* the medical community, to protect the freedom to adhere to time-tested, life-affirming standards of medical ethics and to preserve professional judgment and integrity, free from undue political influence.

Thank you for your interest in these values and in this movement. Please join the coalition, learn more and make your voice heard.
