James Lankford, sponsor of the bill in the Senate, stated on Friday.“Americans have very different views about abortion, but we should not force anyone to participate in it or provide coverage,” he added.The Conscience Protection Act would protect health care providers from federal, state, and local abortion mandates if they conscientiously object to assisting with abortions.
