Love Bob Ferguson! My hero.

On Tuesday, Washington State’s Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed his 38th lawsuit against the Trump Administration. The lawsuit, filed in Spokane, challenges the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) recently issued “conscience rule,” which allows health professionals to delay or refuse certain types of medical care based on their moral or religious beliefs.

The rule applies to health care entities and their employees “who have conscience or religious objections related to performing, paying for, referring for, providing coverage of, or providing certain services, such as abortion, sterilization, or assisted suicide.” The rule does not include exceptions in the case of emergencies and is set to take effect on July 20 of this year.
