Trump administration threatens to pull federal support for a Vermont hospital after one of its nurses alleged she was forced to participate in an abortion despite objecting on religious grounds.
The Trump administration on Wednesday threatened to pull federal support for a Vermont hospital after one of its nurses alleged she was forced to participate in an abortion despite objecting on religious grounds.
"The University of Vermont Medical Center has robust, formal protections that safeguard both our employees’ religious, ethical and cultural beliefs, and our patients’ rights to access safe and legal abortion," the hospital said."We do not discriminate against any employees for exercising their rights to opt out of procedures to which they object."
Severino said the nurse protested but felt she had to participate or lose her job. HHS classified the abortion as"elective" but declined to provide details on the pregnancy, including any medical reasons the woman might have opted for the abortion. "We nonetheless remain willing to work cooperatively with OCR to identify any ways in which we can further support our employees’ conscience and religious rights, in a manner that is consistent with high-quality patient care, and the other legal and ethical obligations we have to our patients," the hospital said.
