Those who oppose the Act have interpreted it as an attempt to obligate religious hospitals to either "do abortions or close",[14] while FOCA supporters argue that existing conscience clause laws would protect religious hospitals.[15][16] In early 2009, Catholic News Service asserted that in its interpretation of the legislation, FOCA neither poses any such risk to Catholic hospitals, nor would require religious hospitals to participate in abortion.[17] Opponents, however, assert that conscience clauses are weak and easily reinterpreted, and do not explicitly allow religious hospitals to ban the abortion procedure within the hospital.[18]
