Biden admin proposes reversing ‘conscience’ protections for healthcare workers over abortion
(Worthy News) – The Department of Health and Human Service has proposed rescinding Trump-era protections for healthcare workers that barred funding to facilities that required them to perform services contrary to their conscientious objections.

HHS, in a statement, said the rule’s termination would “restore the longstanding process for the handling of conscience complaints and provide additional safeguards to protect against conscience and religious discrimination,” according to The Hill. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
