A lawsuit against the Department of Veterans Affairs alleges the agency is violating the First Amendment with a new rule allowing abortions to be provided by the department.
Rescue 22 Foundation co-founder John Devine shares the mission of his foundation providing service dogs to veterans with disabilities on ‘Fox & Friends.’The Department of Veterans Affairs faces a lawsuit over a new agency rule that allows it to provide abortion services. The plaintiff of the suit says the rule violates the First Amendment's religious freedom protections for providers seeking a religious exemption to the rule.
Carter, who has worked for the VA 23 years, lives in Texas, where abortions after six weeks are illegal, so she is subject to prosecution under Texas law if she assists or performs the procedure beyond six weeks, her attorneys argue. Penalties could include a felony conviction, a fine of up to $100,000 and the loss of her nursing license.District Court for the Western District of Texas
explicitly limited the authority of the VA secretary to determine what medical services are needed for veterans and banned abortion as a service VA facilities can provide. "States may not impose criminal or civil liability on VA employees — including doctors, nurses and administrative staff — who provide or facilitate abortions or related services in a manner authorized by federal law, including VA’s rule," the OLC memo states.
"This is another instance of the Biden administration ignoring the law, and, in this instance, forcing health care workers at VA facilities to violate their consciences," said Runyan.
