15+ min ago (197+ words) Under current rules from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, residents are allowed to opt out of abortion training, but the opt-out system puts pressure on trainees to participate in procedures that violate their moral or religious beliefs. Residents often fear that opting out could affect evaluations, recommendations, or future career opportunities. The Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act replaces the opt-out system with an opt-in system. It ensures residents can choose whether to participate in abortion training and protects them from discrimination or retaliation if they decline.

Here are two stories from last week which dig into what that tells us about what pro-abortionists really think of the intelligence of pregnant women and, for that matter, what supposedly PHCs do to them. We examine one today and one tomorrow. Kathleen Parker's opinion piece in the is headlined "Pregnancy resource centers help women. They don't "torture' them.."

11+ hour, 51+ min ago (894+ words) AUGUSTA " A prominent Democrat hoping to fight for one of the nation's most closely contested congressional seats is taking heat over a more than two decades-old antiabortion vote. State auditor Matt Dunlap said Monday that a vote he took in the Maine Legislature in favor of a bill restricting abortion access doesn't represent his stance on the issue today. He pledged to "always fight for reproductive freedom" as he campaigns for Congress. Dunlap, who's hoping to replace Democratic Rep.

He was asked by reporters about LD 798, a bill that came up in 2003 that would have required physicians to provide notice to women at least 24 hours before…...

Campbell, joined by 21 colleagues nationwide, is urging congressional leaders to reject efforts to tie restrictions on abortion to the extension of soon-to-expire Affordable Care Act tax credits. On Monday, Campbell and her fellow attorneys general sent a letter to congressional leadership, saying they had "grave concerns" over the way the negotiations were proceeding. A fight over the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding for abortion, has emerged as a major sticking point as lawmakers try to get a deal, Politico reported earlier this month. Of particular concern to Campbell are efforts to tie the extension to what she described as "unlawful restrictions" on state insurance plans, which would prohibit abortion coverage. Such a move would violate state sovereignty, conflict with existing state laws, and put access to care at risk, they argued. "The Trump administration and…...
