No health care professional, health care institution, or health care payer should be required to participate in or pay for any medical procedure, treatment, or service, or prescribe or pay for any medication, to which he objects on the basis of conscience, whether such conscience is informed by religious, moral, or ethical beliefs or principles. [...] "Conscience" means the ethical, moral, or religious beliefs or principles held by any health care provider. Conscience with respect to institutional entities or corporate bodies, as opposed to individual persons, is determined by reference to that entity's or body's governing documents, including but not limited to any published ethical, moral, or religious guidelines or directives, mission statements, constitutions, articles of incorporation, bylaws, policies, or regulations.
