[The Christian Post] 23 Aug 2008--Christian doctors and groups have applauded proposed regulations that would protect the right of conscience of health care workers who do not want to provide abortions.
"These regulations are desperately needed to protect First Amendment rights and implement federal law in what is becoming a jungle of coercion in healthcare," Dr. David Stevens, CEO of the Christian Medical Association (CMA), commented in a statement.
On Thursday, the Bush administration issued a proposal for stronger protections for health professionals who refuse to participate in abortions because of personal, moral or religious beliefs. The regulation also lets federal health officials pull funding from institutions that force employees to perform or participate in abortion services.
