The House will vote Wednesday on a measure supporting conscience protections for doctors, in its first abortion-themed vote since the Supreme Court’s June decision striking Texas clinic regulations.

Were the measure to become law, churches and other entities could directly sue the federal government for violating the Weldon Amendment, which prohibits states from getting federal dollars if they discriminate against providers refusing to pay for, provide or refer for abortions.
