What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act," seeks to amend the Social Security Act. It aims to prohibit medical residency or postgraduate training programs that receive Medicare funding from requiring certain training. Specifically, it targets programs that involve the performance of, or assistance with, induced abortions or related counseling and referrals. The legislation prevents these programs from requiring participants to undergo such training without a voluntary opt-in. It also prohibits discrimination against participants who choose not to opt-in or perform these specific actions.
