(Washington) The Bush administration, in its final days, has issued a federal rule reinforcing protections for doctors and other health care workers who refuse to participate in abortions and other procedures because of religious or moral objections.
Critics say the protections are so broad they limit a patient's right to get care and accurate information."The refusal clause goes beyond women's health and a woman's right to an abortion or birth control," said openly lesbian Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin.
