Spring Break
A new regulation proposed by the Bush Administration will allow health-care officials to deny medical services to a patient if the service goes against their religious and moral values. Under state law, health-care officials are required to provide care to patients or refer them to another facility.
In a press release, Mike Leavitt, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Sciences, said that the new regulation protects “the legal right of a healthcare professional to practice according to their conscience.”
However, opponents believe the new regulation prevents access to contraceptives, and infringes on a woman’s right to have an abortion.
If the rule passes after a 30-day comment period, it will apply to 584,000 hospitals and clinics across the country.
