Religious Freedom 'Wake-Up Call'

A senatorial candidate's remarks that pro-lifers "probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room" is being viewed as a "wake-up call" regarding threats to religious freedom. The U.S. Senate candidate Martha Coakley (D-Mass.) said in a recent interview that "The law says that people are allowed to have [religious freedom]. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room." Her comments have been "sharply criticized" in Catholic circles.
