There is a bill before congress, the Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (S. 1397). (This is a bipartisan proposal that protects a basic right, the right to choose NOT to participate in abortions)
Anyway, it should be expanded to include other breeches of conscience (denying care) that health care workers are forced to carry out in the course of their jobs.
