Sen. Coburn says pro-life docs would prefer jail to violating consciences
Washington D.C., Mar 2, 2009 / 09:08 pm (CNA).- Obstetrician and gynecologist Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) has said that pro-life medical practitioners will “go to jail” rather than violate their conscience if the Obama administration reverses federal conscience protection rules.
In an interview with CNSNews.com on Friday in Washington, D.C., Sen. Coburn was asked what he thought would happen if the administration reverses the policy.
“I think a lot of us will go to jail,” he said. “Let’s see them prosecute the first one of us for not doing that.”
I wonder how many will really be willing to make that sacrifice…
