Despite pressure from supporters of a bill that would require hospitals to provide emergency contraception to rape victims, Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch says he is reluctant to move the bill forward because of constitutional concerns.
“There’s no protection for those who would not do this and who are exercising their constitutional right to not do this on religious and moral grounds,” Huebsch told The Capital Times.
Huebsch, R-West Salem, said the bill, if passed, would usher in a “radical change” in state policy.
