On July 6, NPRs Morning Edition explored the Obama Administration's progress on repealing Bush-Era "Provider Conscience Regulations. In an onair piece entitled: Some Docs Resist Repeal Of Bush-Era Abortion Regs, NPR explores why some doctors who oppose abortion and, in some cases, birth control pills say they may stop providing care if the Obama administration follows through on threats to repeal controversial Bush administration regulations aimed at allowing health care workers to refuse to provide care that conflicts with their beliefs. Opponents of the rules point out that those health care workers have plenty of other protections to fall back on. Listen to the story on Morning Edition.
