What it does
The Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act would amend the Social Security Act to prohibit Medicare-approved medical residency programs from requiring residents to participate in abortion-related training or activities unless they voluntarily opt in. It would bar programs from discriminating against residents who decline to undergo training in performing, assisting with, or counseling for induced abortions. The bill aims to protect the conscience rights of medical trainees by ensuring participation in abortion-related training is strictly voluntary.
