Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act

This bill changes the Medicare rules that define which medical residency programs are approved for Medicare funding. Starting when the bill becomes law, a residency program that trains doctors in performing, assisting with, counseling on, or referring for induced abortions would no longer count as an approved program if it gives that training to residents who have not chosen to opt in. A program would also lose approved status if it discriminates against residents who do not opt in to the training or who do not perform, assist with, counsel on, or refer for abortions.
