Freedom of conscience has been taken from us

Why would this administration refuse us freedom of conscience in not participating in any way in the destruction of human life?

The beginning of a human life is the union of the egg and sperm. That has never been disproved. Life starts before implantation, implantation is the new home, the place of nurturing and if that does not occur, it dies. Remember when conception was defined as the time of implantation? Conveniently the ridding of the beginning human life before implantation would not be termed abortion.

The “pill,” for one example, has two actions. One is to prevent ovulation, which is not 100 percent effective, and the other is to render the lining of the uterus such that the fertilized egg cannot implant and is expelled. How many so called contraceptives should be referred to, labeled as “potentially abortifacient,” or”abortificient”?

Here I lived in the great United States of America for 74 years thinking I had the God-given right to freedom of conscience only to find out it is President Barack Obama’s right to determine my conscience. If you are the god of my conscience, President Obama, where were you 74 years ago when I was born?
