[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would give doctors and healthcare workers the legal right to refuse to participate in certain medical activities (like abortion or assisted dying) if they have strong moral or religious objections to them. It tries to balance workers' freedom of conscience with patients' right to access healthcare.

Presented by Baroness O'Loan.
