New Trump Rule Protects Health Care Workers Who Refuse Care For Religious Reasons

The Trump administration issued a new rule Thursday that gives health care workers leeway to refuse to provide services like abortion, sterilization or assisted suicide, if they cite a religious or conscientious objection.

The rule, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, is designed to protect the religious rights of health care providers and religious institutions.

According to a statement issued by HHS's Office for Civil Rights, the new rule affirms existing conscience protections established by Congress.

Thank you for posting this. I heard that on the radio today, and support the rights of religious/faith-based health care providers to act according to religious freedoms in America and our relgious beliefs that honor human life from conception to natural death, and the responsibility to ensure compassionate hospice care when family, church, government, or community fails to do so. I live in anguish of the memory of my mother's final days, when she was not given vital care in her home, and I did not have the courage to make a command decision and call an ambulance and left her in the care of irresponsible hospice when everyone dropped the ball. In that case, she had the right, not to die, but the legal and moral right to hospice care to ease her suffering.

Great news. I hope this does not change when or if a democratic president takes office again.
