Deny Discriminatory Refusals of Care Under SB2797 This proposed legislation, the Protecting Conscience in Our Health Care Act (SB2797), poses a significant threat to the rights and well-being of patients seeking medical care. By allowing healthcare workers to refuse to provide services based on personal beliefs, it undermines the fundamental principles of non-discrimination and equitable access to healthcare. Patients should not have their care limited or denied due to the personal views of providers, especially in emergency situations where timely treatment can mean the difference between life and death. This bill prioritizes the beliefs of providers over the needs of patients, which is unacceptable. I urge you to oppose SB2797 and protect the right of all individuals to receive comprehensive, ethical healthcare without discrimination.
