A prominent Christian legal organization is calling on the Trump administration to address concerns about federally funded medical education programs that allegedly compel students to take part in abortion procedures.
Alliance Defending Freedom has contacted the Department of Health and Human Services regarding roughly 50 medical training programs that receive government funding while potentially mandating student involvement in abortions. The legal group contends that such requirements are inappropriate for taxpayer-supported programs.
“No family medicine residency can tell applicants or employees that any aspect of abortion is a necessary part of the program,” the organization stated in their correspondence to federal officials.
The request aligns with President Trump’s campaign commitment to eliminate all government funding for abortion-related activities. The incoming administration has pledged to implement comprehensive restrictions on taxpayer support for such procedures.
