Biden Administration Largely Rescinds the “Conscience” Rule that Relates to HealthCare Workers
Good or bad…I just report the news!! The Biden administration rescinded the Trump policy that provided health care workers relief from a perceived burden of being required to perform termination of life procedures on patients when doing so conflicted with their religious or moral beliefs. The Trump policy was effective in 2019 and was recently rescinded on part by the Biden administration.
The Trump policy would have stripped funding from health care entities that required workers to perform procedures that conflicted with their religious or moral beliefs. Such procedures were not limited to termination of life. They also included such other issues such as contraceptives, gender affirmation procedures and sterilization.
