The American Medical Association ("AMA"), seemingly against the wishes of many of its members, recently made headlines when it announced its endorsement for H.R. 3200, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009," the House of Representative's version of Obama's government-run health care plan.Countering the AMA's endorsement, however, is Dr. Donald Palmisano, a former president of the organization and the current spokesperson for newly formed group called the Coalition to Protect Patients' Rights (CPPR). CPPR is opposed to a so-called "public option" and is working to ensure that patients and doctors are in charge of making health care decisions, not the government.

NY nurse threatened, forced to assist in late-term abortion
NEW YORK - Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Mount Sinai Hospital on behalf of a Catholic nurse who was forced to participate in a late-term abortion under the threat of disciplinary action, including possible termination and loss of her license. The hospital has known of her religious objections to abortion since 2004.Hospital administrators told the nurse that the scheduled abortion was an “emergency,” though evidence shows otherwise, and insisted moments before the procedure that she assist doctors despite her repeated objections to the procedure, which dismembered a preborn child in the 22nd week of gestation. By federal law, hospitals that receive federal funds cannot force employees to participate in abortion procedures under any circumstances.
