Becerra has voted to ensure that states can discriminate against
hospitals and doctors for not providing or recommending
abortions. Becerra believes taxpayers should have to fund
abortions — he has voted against the No Taxpayer Funding for
Abortion Act.

Summary: S.304 — 114th Congress (2015-2016)

Shown Here:
Passed House amended (07/13/2016)
Conscience Protection Act of 2016

(Sec. 3) This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to
codify the prohibition against the federal government and state
and local governments that receive federal financial assistance
for health-related activities penalizing or discriminating
against a health care provider based on the provider's refusal
to be involved in, or provide coverage for, abortion. Health
care providers include health care professionals, health care
facilities, social services providers, health care professional
training programs, and health insurers.

The Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Health and
Human Services, in coordination with the Department of Justice
(DOJ), must investigate complaints alleging discrimination based
on an individual's religious belief, moral conviction, or
refusal to be involved in an abortion.

DOJ or any entity adversely affected by such discrimination may
obtain equitable or legal relief in a civil action.
Administrative remedies do not need to be sought or exhausted
prior to commencing an action or granting relief. Such an action
may be brought against a governmental entity.
