Trump’s ‘conscience rule’ for health providers blocked by federal judge

A federal judge on Wednesday voided the Trump administration’s “conscience rule” that would have allowed health-care providers to refuse to participate in abortions, sterilizations or other procedures they disagree with on religious or moral grounds.

U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan declared the so-called “conscience rule” unconstitutional in a 147-page decision stemming from a lawsuit brought by New York and nearly two dozen other mostly Democratic states and municipalities. The rule had been set to go into effect later this month.

Obama appointee.

How on earth is it Constitutional to force health care providers to participate in murder?

[rdl6989]

I think this will be reversed when it finally makes it up to the SCOTUS.

147 page decision - in one sentence can anyone summarize her argument?? Those of us who are slow readers would like to know!

America’s robed mullahs...much like the middle east creeps are without conscience. Checks and balances? Compromised.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

Doesn't this action by Trump just negate an equal and opposite action by Obama?

How was Obama's action Constitutional rather than just arbitrary?

The right to kill your unborn child trumps all other rights enumerated in the Constitution.

“Obama appointee”... gives short shrift to conscience

“...can anyone summarize her argument??...”

Paul is now a Paula ?? What have we come to?

Obama was never eligible to be President.
The entire Kenyanesian Usurpation was unconstitutional.

Trump is right, the “judge” is an a$$hole.

“in a 147-page decision”

Why is this so long? The entire Constitution isn’t that long.

147 pages? They were short on toilet paper in the courthouse?

[Eleutheria5]

It isn’t nice to block the doorways.
It isn’t nice to go to jail...

I agree, 147 pages is ridiculous.
