No. The conscience regulation has no effect on legal abortion, nor does it restrict disbursement of contraception. It merely protects rights to make conscientious decisions on ethically controversially issues without fear of reprisals or discrimination. The regulation does not define abortion. Like the civil rights laws it implements, the regulation provides broad protection for the conscientious observance of ethical standards by health care providers.
