The President’s Religious Liberty Commission Hears from Healthcare Workers Facing Religious Liberty Threats with Attorney at First Liberty Institute Kayla Toney

The President’s Religious Liberty Commission recently heard testimony from healthcare workers who say their faith is increasingly coming into conflict with workplace policies, particularly around issues like mandated procedures and conscience protections. Among those addressing the commission was Kayla Toney, an attorney with First Liberty Institute, who highlighted cases where medical professionals allege they have been pressured to act against their deeply held religious beliefs or risk losing their jobs. Toney emphasized the importance of safeguarding First Amendment rights within the healthcare field, arguing that protecting religious liberty is essential not only for individual freedom but also for maintaining a diverse and ethical medical workforce.
