On Election Day (November 2016) in America, Pope Meets With Italy’s Most Famous Abortionist

In June 2020, President Donald Trump issued a pro-life rule that will protect pro-life Americans and help save babies from abortion. His administration implemented a rule to block the effects of a dangerous Obamacare provision that could be used to compel doctors to participate in abortions.
Today, Joe Biden reversed it.
During the trump administration, the Department of Health and Human Services finalized a rule that revises 2016 provisions of the Obamacare section 1557 rule that had redefined discrimination “on the basis of sex” to include “pregnancy termination.” The new rule protected doctors, nurses and medical professionals from being compelled to assist abortions.
Biden’s decision overturns the Trump rule, which had defined “sex” as gender assigned at birth and clarified that sex discrimination does not include abortion when it comes to health care and coverage.
“HHS respects the dignity of every human being, and as we have shown in our response to the pandemic, we vigorously protect and enforce the civil rights of all to the fullest extent permitted by our laws as passed by Congress,” Roger Severino, former director of OCR, said in June 2020. “We are unwavering in our commitment to enforcing civil rights in healthcare.”

The Biden administration’s new interpretation will guide OCR in conducting investigations and processing complaints, an HHS press release said, but will not “itself determine the outcome in any particular case or set of facts.”
Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine also said in a statement that HHS seeks to “enhance the health and well-being of all Americans.”
Before the November presidential election, Biden indicated he would eliminate conscience protections for pro-life health care providers, forcing them to adhere to pro-abortion ideology even if it conflicts with their medical judgment.
Terry Schilling, executive director of American Principles Project, told LifeNews.com that this is a radical pro-abortion agenda out of step with most Americans.
After Trump adopted the rule, a leading pro-life group praised him.
“President Trump is the most pro-life president our nation has ever seen, and today he delivered another important victory for conscience in America. Abortion is not health care and should never be mandated by the government,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser.
She told LifeNews.com: “The Obama/Biden administration sought to expand abortion at every turn, even trying to reinterpret federal law to define abortion as a civil right. Since serving in the Obama administration, Joe Biden’s views on abortion have become even more extreme, as he now supports forcing taxpayers to pay for abortion on demand – even brutal late-term abortions. We thank President Trump and Secretary Azar for standing firmly on the side of the majority of Americans who reject taxpayer funding of abortion, and for the action taken today to roll back the Obama/Biden-era assault on conscience.
Mary Beth Waddell, who serves as the Senior Legislative Assistant for Family Research Council, told LifeNews.com that the new rule protects doctors, nurses and medical professionals from being compelled to assist abortions.
Waddell said that, “Under the old Obama rule, medical professionals could have been forced to facilitate … abortions — even if they believed this was a violation of their conscience or believed it harmful to the patient.”
The Heritage Foundation’s senior research fellow Ryan T. Anderson, who submitted comments on the Trump rule and wrote on the Obama-era HHS and HUD regulations, had the following response after Trump adopted it:
“Truth matters and words have meaning. The Trump administration is right to formally rescind Obamacare regulations that radically altered the meaning of ‘sex’ to mean things it doesn’t. Today’s action follows the precedent of a federal court issuing a 50-state preliminary injunction that blocked these unlawful regulations from ever taking effect.”
“When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, it prohibited discrimination on the basis of ‘sex.’ Several years later, the Obama administration redefined ‘sex’ to mean … termination of pregnancy. In addition to being an unlawful abuse of agency power, these rules would have caused serious harm.”
“They would have required doctors, hospitals, and health care organizations to act in ways contrary to their best medical judgments, their consciences, and the physical realities of their patients, or face steep fines and become easy targets for unreasonable and costly lawsuits.”
He concluded that federal law should not “force anyone to violate their prolife conscience or the privacy and safety of others in the name of political correctness.”
On Election Day (November 2016) in America, Pope Meets With Italy’s Most Famous Abortionist
Ping
Bishop Gregory needs to issue a bull of excommunication post haste.
At least we don’t have to put up with rude tweets.
Monsters are in charge.
I was just about to give thanks that we have a lifelong Catholic in the White House. (/s)
Nope, couldn’t go to war against the evil that took over the country. Another frickin’ line in the sand for the keyboard warriors.
Bishop Gregory is more of a lib Dem than Catholic just like Biden.
Bishop Barron has stated repeatedly that no good Catholic can ever vote for a pro abortion candidate-the other Bishops and Pope need to step up and say the same or they are just kidding about being pro life
Soon they will be awarded with solid gold knuckles knick knamed the “strangler” for short
Killing babies. Demands from their mothers often pressured by the fathers Sometimes pressured by their grandparents. ‘People’ making money from this, gaining political power
He announces it the day after Mothers Day.
But oh Trump is ruuude!!
But at least there aren’t any more nasty tweets.
/s
Shameful
The Biden with 63% approval rating?
Everything biden has done in the first months... is wrong/evil/against humanity/overturning the good Trump did, to show what they are and who they are.. who opposed our President Trump.
We are surrounded by evil.. by darkness. I go way back when life was slower, when there was no computer to take us into the world where we had not been before.. when a phone in the hand was not available.. when the banker knew you and trust was sprinkled among us.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
what we see ... the onces who have done this are being led around the nose by the wrong entity.. do they know it? probably not... throw away all you ever knew about good, and you have darkness. If they took all the Christians out of this world, the darkness would be so heavy they could not stand it.
Disgusting, the Pope and the abortionist in merry smiles.
We might have been better off if the murder of infants was legal in Biden’s time.
Forgive me, I have lost my cool about the p_resident.
Any doubt as to who is running our country?
This is Hussein Obama’s third term and you can bet your life on it!
Nothing like hastening the wrath of God on this country. We are going down fast. The churches of this country. . .all denominations . . . are to blame for this mess. Some blatantly endorsed Biden.
Unbelievable.
Not if you knew what a degenerate Biden is. It is very believable. But it is who the Republican Party wanted in the White House instead of President Trump. And they got him.
