The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is seeking comments on its proposed regulations to further protect the moral and religious rights of pro-life medical workers.
The HHS guidelines state that any recipient of federal aid, including hospitals, research clinics and medical schools, that restricts a medical worker’s right of conscience could lose federal funding.
“Right of conscience is the most basic and one that our country was founded upon," said Dr. David Stevens, CEO of the Christian Medical Association. “The regulations that have been proposed by Health and Human Services provide blanket protection for people to exercise their conscience.”
TAKE ACTION
Please encourage the Department of Health and Human Services to continue to protect medical workers' right of conscience. You can find contact information through our Action Center.
