Medical associations and civil liberty groups warn US rule allowing doctors and health workers to refuse undertaking procedures because of personal or religious beliefs puts vulnerable groups at risk
In this photo taken on August 14, 2012, Dr Leana Wen stands in the emergency department at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Wen spoke out on April, 23 2019 against a proposed rule by President Donald Trump to prohibit family planning clinics funded by the federal programme called Title X from making abortion referrals.
The rule will be effective 60 days from its final publication and enforced by the agency's Office of Civil Rights. Physicians, medical groups and others have warned the rule would erode protections for vulnerable patients in health care, including gay and transgender individuals."This administration shows itself to be determined to use religious liberty to harm communities it deems less worthy of equal treatment under the law," Louise Melling, deputy legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement.
