   Becerra has voted to ensure that states can discriminate against   
   hospitals and doctors for not providing or recommending   
   abortions. Becerra believes taxpayers should have to fund   
   abortions — he has voted against the No Taxpayer Funding for   
   Abortion Act.   
      
   Summary: S.304 — 114th Congress (2015-2016)   
      
   Shown Here:   
   Passed House amended (07/13/2016)   
   Conscience Protection Act of 2016   
      
   (Sec. 3) This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to   
   codify the prohibition against the federal government and state   
   and local governments that receive federal financial assistance   
   for health-related activities penalizing or discriminating   
   against a health care provider based on the provider's refusal   
   to be involved in, or provide coverage for, abortion. Health   
   care providers include health care professionals, health care   
   facilities, social services providers, health care professional   
   training programs, and health insurers.   
      
   The Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Health and   
   Human Services, in coordination with the Department of Justice   
   (DOJ), must investigate complaints alleging discrimination based   
   on an individual's religious belief, moral conviction, or   
   refusal to be involved in an abortion.   
      
   DOJ or any entity adversely affected by such discrimination may   
   obtain equitable or legal relief in a civil action.   
   Administrative remedies do not need to be sought or exhausted   
   prior to commencing an action or granting relief. Such an action   
   may be brought against a governmental entity.
