Abortion Law Faces New Challenges

Connecticut Abortion Law Faces New Challenges

Blumenthal says he plans to fight the federal rule, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It reinforces protections for health care workers and institutions that refuse to provide certain services, such as abortions, for personal reasons.
