Biden Administration Trying to Do Away with Conscience Protections | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Biden Administration is poised to do away with conscience protections, possibly by the end of the month. Politico reports the White House wants to scrap this Trump-era rule allowing medical workers to refuse services that do not align with their religious and moral beliefs. HHS has confirmed a policy change may be underway. Senior Counsel and Vice President for Legal Strategy at the Alliance Defending Freedom, Ryan Bangert, joins to talk more about this and what would happen if the conscience protections put in place by the Trump Administration were revoked. Bangert explains why the Biden Administration wants to revoke these conscience protections and what is fueling this. Bangert tells us more about the impact on health care systems like Catholic hospitals if it is revised. He shares what kind of legal recourse health care workers would have if they object to performing procedures that go against their beliefs. The Senior Counsel discusses the big takeaway and what else he is following. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
