According to the Washington Times yesterday, when Martha Coakley (running in a special election in Massachusetts for the Senate) was asked about the conscience clause that applies to medicine (Under the clause, workers in health-care environments ranging from doctors to maintenance men can refuse to offer services, information, or advice to patients on issues like contraception, blood transfusions, etc..if the workers are morally against it.), she had an interesting answer.
She was being interviewed by Ken Pittman and was asked about religious freedom in the emergency room regarding birth control and the Catholic Church. She replied:
"The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn't work in the emergency room."
If you follow the link above, you can hear the audio of the interview.
Another reason to vote for Scott Brown on Tuesday.
