Abortion Conscience Bill Introduced
The Senate State Affairs Committee voted this morning, with one objection, to introduce a new version of “conscience” legislation from Sen. Chuck Winder, R-Boise, that would permit any licensed health-care provider to refuse to provide a treatment, service or medication related to abortion, emergency contraception, stem cell research or end-of-life care if it violates his or her conscience. Winder earlier introduced a personal bill, SB 1270, to do the same thing; the new version, he said, includes changes in response to concerns from the Idaho Hospital Association and the Idaho Medical Association/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.
