Outgoing HHS Office of Civil Rights Director Roger Severino speaks at a news conference announcing the the creation of the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division at the Department of Health and Human Services Jan. 18, 2018, in Washington. The division, part of the department’s Office of Civil Rights, aids medical professionals who object to certain procedures on religious grounds.
INTERVIEW: Roger Severino was asked to step down before his term on the Council of the Administrative Conference of the United States ended. Now, he has filed a suit against the Biden White House in an effort to secure gains made in conscience rights and religious-freedom protections as President Biden resets goals for this office.
