Mike Leavitt: Physician Conscience
On his blog, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt responds to a leaked copy of regulations suggesting the Bush Administration intends to define the use of contraceptives as abortion:
The Bush Administration has consistently supported the unborn. However, the issue I asked to be addressed in this regulation is not abortion or contraceptives, but the legal right medical practitioners have to practice according to their conscience and patients should be able to choose a doctor who has beliefs like his or hers.
