The Trump administration will safeguard the rights of doctors to decline performing procedures they find morally objectionable.
On Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services adopted regulations to guarantee conscience protections for medical professionals. The rule, which will be implemented by the Office of Civil Rights will bar regulators from discriminating against the religious beliefs of doctors and nurses. OCR Director Roger Severino said the protections will prevent practitioners from being shut out of the profession for their beliefs.
"Laws prohibiting government funded discrimination against conscience and religious freedom will be enforced like every other civil rights law," Severino said in the announcement. "This rule ensures that healthcare entities and professionals won't be bullied out of the health care field because they decline to participate in actions that violate their conscience, including the taking of human life."

Those who try to coerce a doc to perform an abortion should be charged with solicitation to commit murder, in effect a contract killing. Accommodations at the Graybar Hotel may not be to their liking.

How would anyone coerce a doctor to perform a procedure that they are more than willing to perform, and make easy money doing so?
I don't think many people know exactly how an abortion is performed and what transpires. The focus should be on educating those seeking abortions as to what happens and the ripping apart of the fetus and correcting the falsehoods, such as the fetus feeling no pain.
I believe some would change their minds about getting an abortion if they knew these things.
