HHS Reverses Obamacare Rule, Allows Doctors to Opt Out of Performing Abortion, Gender Surgery
PJ Media ^ | 06/13/2020 | Rick Moran

The Department of Health and Human Services has finalized a rule that repeals Obamacare policy relating to access to abortion and gender identity.

The new rule will define “sex discrimination” in terms of a person’s biological sex, rather than gender. The Obamacare rule defined “sex discrimination” as including discrimination regarding gender identity, which the rule defined as “one’s internal sense of gender, which may be male, female, neither, or a combination of male and female.”

Anyone who requires a list to define their gender needs help — badly.

Under the new policy, hospitals can decline to perform “gender transition surgery” as well as abortion if it conflicts with their religious beliefs.

Not surprisingly, liberal heads were exploding all over the place.

Fox News:

Democrats decried the rule change with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo calling it “repugnant.” “That this action was taken on the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting — an act of domestic terror targeting the LGBTQ community — and amid global pandemic is grotesque,” Cuomo said in a statement.

It may be popular to rewrite history to scrub radical Muslim terrorists from events, but Cuomo needs to get a grip on reality. The Pulse nightclub shooter was a fanatical jihadist.

Omar Mir Seddique had been investigated for terrorism even before the massacre.

Before the shooting, he had been investigated for connections to terrorism by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2013 and 2014. During that period, he was placed on the Terrorist Screening Database, but was subsequently removed. In a call to 9-1-1 during the shooting, Mateen identified himself as “Mujahideen”, “Islamic Soldier”, and “Soldier of God” and pledged his allegiance multiple times to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who at the time was the leader of the militant jihadist group Islamic State of Iraq

O/Care was installed as a huge money-laundering operation---everybody got a cut. From Michelle and her pal who made zillions botching the rollout web site using a phony computer company---to Obama admin insiders...Jonathan Gruber, and of, course, Dummbocrat pols.

NOTE We still do not know where these billions went.

O/care also allocated some $6 billion tax dollars----spending money for Dumbocrats ----which has yet to be traced.

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, Democrats slavishly voted for Obamacare by an historic straignt-party line vote. But not one Democrat told Americans about Obamacare's Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).

THE PAYOFF--WHO GETS THE MONEY? In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion, and, in 2015 and on, $2 billion

<><> Where is all that money going?

<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?

The sound of West Wing wire-transfers to states and to offshore banks is almost palpable.

===================================================

This is one thing I love about President Trump. Other Republican presidents, even Reagan, would only slow down or stop the liberal idiocy for a few years. Trump is reversing it. Even if a Democrat takes power it will take a few years to get back to where they were on January 19, 2017.

An indication that Dumbocrats believe Obama led them over a cliff w/ the ill-fated Obamacare: About 30 lock-stepping Democrats were tossed out at midterms---Dumbos lost the House and the Senate and all the perks and privileges that go w/ being in the majority.

====================================

It is the hallmark of socialists to think that all wealth belongs to the state........they hate anything that smacks of capitalism, even our Republic. They are totally ignorant WRT how capitalism operates. “Hundreds of billions [worth] of capital gains go untaxed every year,” one progressive ignoramus said ominously...

America has witnessed the tragic consequences of a generation inculcated with moral relativity and situation ethics. The ghost of Saul Alinsky lurks behind the Progressive Poison spewed by Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of their ilk.

The Dumbos clearly see themselves as "deconstructionists"----savagely committed to tearing down America's traditions. Every maniacal official govt act is dedicated to chipping away at the bulwark of American freedoms.

Obama put cadres of self-absorbed punks who are squatting in govt---imbedded in the Civil Service system. They are clearly disturbed and dysfunctional---obsessed with religious cleansing and kicking religionists to the curb.

Their motto: "Everything For Us--Nothing For You."

That same generation inculcated with moral relativity and situation ethics has segued into The Entitlement Generation---better known as "Pay Me--I'm a Victim.

The Obamas, The Clintons, the De Blasios, and the rest of the Progressive savages, are ruthless predators w/ no empathy for others and no remorse. They are anti-social psychopaths who recognize no moral boundaries--aggressively going after what they want, irregardless of the consequences to others.

....an unusually sharp exchange, between a senior Democrat senator and Obama, the president from his own party, occurred during the recent super-secret (no media allowed) Senate Democratic retreat in Baltimore. A senior administration official also confirmed details of the exchange, which was first reported by the NY Times.....

My guess? Either the Obama Family Foundation or the Muslim Brotherhood.

Gender Identity Problems are recognized mental problems and have no place in a surgery suite.

American citizens, doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and health treatment centers run by religious bodies should be able to opt-out of treatments that go against their own religious principles.

This rule helps health workers in their opting out doing abortions, gender bending surgeries and similar acts they object to on religious grounds. If Mr. Trump loses to Joe Biden, the rule will be gone within weeks of Biden taking office.
