'Misinformation’ czar would promote abortion access under Democrats' new bill

House Democrats are pushing to create a new senior official at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who would monitor and respond to public "misinformation" about abortion access and other reproductive and sexual health services.

Legislation from Rep. Nikema Williams, D-Ga., and four other Democrats would establish a new "reproductive and sexual health" official within HHS, and policing "misinformation" on abortion would be part of the job.

The official would "collect information regarding, and to address, reproductive and sexual health misinformation being disseminated to the public," according to the bill text. 

Democrats have been dabbling with the idea of using the federal government to fight "misinformation" and "disinformation" for the last few years. This year, the Department of Homeland Security announced the creation of a "Disinformation Governance Board" to fight inaccurate information about the 2022 midterm elections.

"The term ‘reproductive and sexual health misinformation’ includes any information relating to reproductive and sexual health that is not evidence based or medically accurate, including inaccuracy in the provision of any related services," the language continues.

However, that board was quickly questioned by Republicans and Democrats, particularly after DHS appointed Nina Jankowicz to lead it. Jankowicz had questioned the legitimacy of reports regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election and was seen by Republicans as a partisan who would use her position at DHS to advance the Democrats’ agenda.

DHS ultimately scrapped the Disinformation Governance Board under pressure from both the left and the right.

The proposed reproductive and sexual health HHS official would do more than fight "misinformation" about abortion and would also act as an advocate for abortion access from a top position inside one of the federal government’s largest agencies.

Didn’t they already try to establish a ministry of truth? It failed miserably after only a few days. There will come a time when there will be pushback against this rogue government.

So, there’d be a Department of Disinformation in the Biden Administration. Sounds about right.

The Dims have to make sure the sacrifices to Molech continues. No amount of evil is beyond them to stay in power.
