The Department of Health and Human Services seeks to
get rid of a rule enacted by President Trump designed to
uphold freedom of conscience for medical professionals,
i.e. have the freedom of choice to not perform nor partici-
pate in abortions, sterilizations, and "sex reassignment"
surgeries if they have any moral or religious qualms.
The rule, sadly, has never been implemented because of
lawsuits.
So Congressional Democrats, having failed to pass the
Equality Act, which would have made declining to perform
these acts a violation of civil-rights laws, shall go to their
Plan B: utilizing the administrative state to back up hospitals
by making it easier for them to force medical employees to
either knuckle under and perform the aforementioned acts,
their consciences be damned, or be fired.
Gee, it's odd that a political party that claims to be in support
of choice forbids it on many things, especially in cases of
people choosing not to wear protective masks during the
Coronavirus pandemic because the masks were discovered not
to be terribly effective in keeping away the virus, or cases of
someone's exercising their moral convictions, but guarantees
a patient having the right to the choice of whether to terminate
a pregnancy or to switch sexual equipment, and bullies doctors,
nurses, and such into assisting a patient in obtaining these
services. Funny how that works. We should get the Democrats
to explain their logic behind this unusual dichotomy; your
curious Peasant awaits with baited breath.

I hope all healthcare providers will refuse to let their conscience rights be regulated away from them.
