Equal Care with No Exception

Pro-Life Supporters Mass in Washington, Across Nation

Thousands of abortion opponents gathered Thursday for a rally on the National Mall before marching on the Supreme Court to mark the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The demonstration comes as President Barack Obama is set to overturn measures taken by the Bush administration to protect the unborn, and the rights of doctors and nurses who refuse to perform abortions.

Another concern for the March for Life activists is whether Obama or the Congress will overturn the so-called “Conscience Rule,” which President Bush signed just last month. That rule allows anyone in the health system, from a surgeon to a pharmacist, to decline to offer a service or treatment that violates their personal conscience.
