Iowa bills would shield conscience in medical care decisions
A Senate subcommittee advanced two conscience based bills in Des Moines. One would let medical providers decline to perform services that clash with their beliefs, with an emergency care exception. The other would protect individuals from job loss or denial of service when refusing vaccination during public health emergencies. Critics warn the measures could enable discrimination against patients and threaten public health.
