file000213043341

INDIANAPOLIS  — A bill advancing in the Indiana Legislature would let pharmacists refuse to dispense abortion-inducing drugs to women if they have ethical, moral or religious objections. 

 

The bill would extend that conscience protection to pharmacists, nurses and physician assistants.

 

The proposal endorsed by a state Senate committee would expand a current law that prevents doctors or hospital employees from being required to participate in abortions.
