BOSTON (YBH.ME) – This morning on WBSM Massachusetts Senate Candidate Martha Coakley said that Catholics “can have religious freedom, you, you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.” Ms. Coakley then defended her remarks by saying that, “Roe vs Wade has made it clear that a woman has the right to choose.”
The so-called “conscience clause” in medical care, whereas individual health care workers would have the right to abstain from performing medical procedures they find morally objectionable has made headlines in recent years. Ms. Coakley said that anyone using the conscience clause would be “affecting [a rape victims] constitutional rights.”
Martha Coakley on the ropes in Massachusetts?

Ms. Coakley was a caller to the Ken Pittman show in New Bedford when the exchange occurred. During the interview Ms. Coakley also took issue with President Obama’s sending additional troops to Afghanistan.
39% of the population in the state of Massachusetts are self described Catholics.
