Here is the link to the Library of Congress' online text of Senate Bill 
2020 (not a link to some right-wing interpetation), commonly referred to 
as the "Freedom of Choice Act"

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c108:S.2020:

What it simply states is . . .

"SEC. 4. INTERFERENCE WITH REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROHIBITED.

(a) STATEMENT OF POLICY- It is the policy of the United States that every 
woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a 
pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy after 
fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman.

(b) PROHIBITION OF INTERFERENCE- A government may not--

    (1) deny or interfere with a woman's right to choose--

        (A) to bear a child;

        (B) to terminate a pregnancy prior to viability; or

        (C) to terminate a pregnancy after viability where termination is 
necessary to protect the life or health of the woman; or

    (2) discriminate against the exercise of the rights set forth in 
paragraph (1) in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, 
services, or information.

(c) CIVIL ACTION- An individual aggrieved by a violation of this section 
may obtain appropriate relief (including relief against a government) in a 
civil action."

NOWHERE does it even imply that hospitals, or any other type of medical 
facility, will be forced to perform abortions.
