The Conscience that Leads To Nowhere

Senator Lisa Murkowski

Poor little Catholic Lisa Murkowski. She has learned the hard way that there is a price to pay for having a conscience. In an interview with Julia O' Malley of the Anchorage Daily News Senator Murkowski stated that she regretted her vote for the Blunt Amendment. The Blunt Amendment was designed to reinstate conscience protections in health care that existed before President Obama decided that conscience was an impediment in pleasing his voting base.

The good Senator should understand that this is not an attempt to deny women contraception. Birth control pills are relatively inexpensive, and  women can choose to work for someone that provides contraception in their health care plans. You may have the right to seek employment, but you do not have the right to force an employer to hire you. The Senator should try to bridge the gap concerning the real issue of the violation of conscience in the Obama health care mandate. The irony is that Senator Murkowski has built a bridge before, a bridge like her conscience that leads to nowhere.
