Pro-Life Doctor Fighting Ill. Law that Forces Him to Inform Patients About Abortion: ‘Life Is Sacred’

‘I cannot and will not comply with this law that is a complete affront to my conscience beliefs - my firmly held religious beliefs - that life is sacred’

Pro-Life Doctor Fighting IL Law That Forces Him to Inform Patients About Abortion (Fox News Insider)

Last year, the state of Illinois passed a law requiring all doctors, pharmacists and pregnancy centers to assist pregnant women in getting abortions, even if they are morally or religiously opposed.

SB 1564 amends the state’s Health Care Right of Conscience Act and compels pro-life doctors and clinics to provide information about abortion and to refer patients to health care providers who will perform abortions.

Dr. Robert Lawler, an obstetrician, is pro-life and he's fighting this new law.

On "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Lawler said the bill is "truly egregious" and a clear violation of his conscience rights.
