Washington • Citing President Donald Trump's "pro-life mission," the Health and Human Services Department announced actions on Friday that are designed to roll back key health care policies of the Obama administration.
Roger Severino, director for the HHS Office of Civil Rights, said a proposed rule on "conscience rights" will further protect health care workers who think they are being punished or discriminated against because of their beliefs.
Speaking as thousands of abortion opponents gathered on the National Mall for the annual March for Life, Severino told reporters that the division's focus would be on "actions," as in types of medical procedures, rather than groups of people.
