Liberty Counsel filed a public comment with the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) opposing the repeal of the Provider Conscience Regulation (73 FR 50274) which has been proposed by President Barack Obama. If repealed, healthcare providers could be forced to participate in abortion and other ethically controversial practices in violation of their moral or religious beliefs at the risk of losing their jobs or board certifications.

HHS is accepting public comments until April 9. HHS will post all of the comments online.

You may submit comments via email to [email protected]

To submit comments online, go to the Public Comments and Submissions form at Regulations.gov. If you’d like to submit your comment as an attachment, then do so in Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or Excel format; however, Microsoft Word is the preferred method.
