Proposed DHHS rule would protect conscience rights
Greg Baylor reports on the CLS Center Blog: The New York Times reports that Bush Administration will reportedly propose a rule protecting the consciences of health care providers who, for moral and religious reasons, decline to participate in abortion.
Denise Burke offers more insights into the proposed rule in this post on the Americans United for Life Blog. She begins: “On Monday, the Bush administration began circulating a proposed policy that would require all recipients of federal money under any program run by the Department of Health and Human Services to certify that they will not discriminate against healthcare providers who object to participating in abortions.”
