I’m back in Harrisburg and I introduced my first bill of this new year, the “Conscientious Objection Act”. This bill would allow health care professionals to make decisions regarding abortion and contraception without fear of legal or employer reprisals. The Abortion Control Act does not adequately address today’s morning after pills and emergency contraception. There is a grey area regarding this issue and at some point, either through regulation, an activist judge or statute, this subject will be addressed. My bill would set forth protection for health care professionals and health care institutions by holding them harmless in the event that they choose not to participate in providing products or services related to abortion or contraception. My bill provides a solution to this problem and should go through the process quickly, should.
