The Biden administration will largely undo a Trump-era rule that boosted the rights of medical workers to refuse to perform abortions or other services that conflicted with their religious or moral beliefs.

The final rule released Tuesday partially rescinds the Trump administration’s 2019 policy that would have stripped federal funding from health facilities that required workers to provide any service they objected to, such as abortions, contraception, gender-affirming care and sterilization.

The move comes as many Republican-led states have enacted abortion bans in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. An increasing number of states have also put limits or bans on gender-affirming care for minors.

    The headline says that it was partially rescinded, but I couldn’t find what portions were left in place or why.
