New Mexico doctors who object to assisting in suicides gained new protections Tuesday when Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, signed a bill that lets medical professionals decline to participate for religious or conscience reasons.
The new measure ended a lawsuit filed by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of infectious disease physician Dr. Mark D. Lacy and the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, the non-profit law firm said in a statement.
Doctors who refused to do so, ADF said, could have faced criminal and civil liability and risked losing their medical licenses. “The government should never force doctors to surrender their religious, moral, and ethical convictions,” he said. A request for comment from the governor’s office by The Washington Times did not receive an immediate response.
