A provision in Ohioâs new two-year budget will allow health care workers, hospitals and health insurance providers to deny services that violate their moral or religious beliefs, the Journal-News reported Monday.
Local advocates warn this rule legalizes discrimination against LGBTQ patients as well as members of other marginalized groups like drug addicts or people living with HIV or sexually transmitted diseases. Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio said the budget amendment gives medical practitioners the right to deny patients treatments like birth control.
