U.S. government to shield health workers under 'religious freedom'
Hamilton
âThere will be challenges to any step along the way for any expansion of religious exceptions â said  Marci Hamilton  a professor at the University of Pennsylvania .  She  said such challenges would be âpretty strong.â
 Hamilton  said that while courts had frequently upheld religious exemptions in recent years  they have recognized limits. For example   she  said  courts have rejected a churchâs bid to be exempt from federal marijuana laws  and a Pennsylvania order of nunâs effort to avoid eminent domain.
Professionals take an oath to serve people who are sick  Alta Charo  a professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin in Madison explained. They are also the only ones licensed to provide those services and must do so without discrimination   she  said.
âWhen the director of the office of civil rights is quoted as saying that âNo physician should have to choose between helping a sick person or following their personal conscience â the director is simply wrong. That choice was made the moment they became physicians â  she  said.
Asma Uddin  a fellow at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations and a Muslim  spoke at an HHS press conference about the need for protection against what  she  said was a variety of ways women are forced to violate their conscience.
For Muslim women   she  said  this is an issue in respect to modesty  particularly as patients.
