Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Brian Christine urged medical students to “refuse” to perform procedures that violate their consciences.

“If your deeply held religious convictions say that you can’t engage in some activity, for instance, abortion, or a sex-rejecting procedure, stand strong in that,” he told The Daily Signal in an exclusive interview.

“Refuse to do that, and again, reach out to the proper authorities and individuals at their institutions,” he added.
