Health ‘conscience’ legislation pushed

Several health care professionals joined Rep. Jean Hundertmark Tuesday to support the introduction of her 2005 “Conscience Protection Act.”

The bill from the Clintonville Republican is aimed at protecting doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health care workers from being discriminated against or sued because they follow their consciences in refusing to take part in procedures “that are a planned, calculated destruction of human life,” Hundertmark said.
