AUL: “California Supreme Court Ruling Threatens Medical Care and Religious Freedom”

Americans United for Life issued this press release in connection with yesterday’s California Supreme Court ruling:

The California Supreme Court today ruled that patient demand for nonessential, elective care trumps the freedom of conscience of physicians and their ability to practice medicine in accordance with their religious or moral beliefs . . .

Added [Denise] Burke, “By forcing healthcare professionals to choose between conscience and career, we will lose doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who are already in short supply.”
