A federal judge struck down a regulation that would have required medical providers receiving federal funding to perform abortions and gender transition surgeries regardless of their personal beliefs, a major victory for religious liberty advocates.
A federal court in Texas said that an Obama-era rule that would have required doctors to perform procedures contrary to their consciences violated federal law. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor said the regulation put forward by the Obama administration in 2016 “substantially burdens” the rights of health care staffers under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).
“The Court holds that the Rule, which expressly prohibits religious exemptions, substantially burdens Private Plaintiffs’ religious exercise in violation of RFRA,” the ruling said. “Though the Court maintains that Plaintiffs were entitled to the preliminary injunction granted in its December 31, 2016 Order, it now concludes that the proper remedy at this stage is vacatur of the Rule.” more here
Another Obama turd gets flushed.🚽
…the fact that they even CONSIDERED this is ominous indeed.
…There’s a word for forcing someone else to unwillingly use their skills in the service of someone else. It’s not a very NICE word, either. But the Democrats always seem to come BACK to it, sooner or later, because they can’t get people to go along with their evil any other way…

It is very important to the Left to force Christians to violate their religion.
Finally, common sense prevails. Ultimately, this decision is a reminder that doctors should neither overestimate their capacity to heal, nor underestimate their capacity to cause harm.
IMHO, surgical assisted gender transformation doesn’t cure a mental disorder. It only shifts it to another level.
Before that Irish O’Bama, with his poison pen and phone, medical personnel had the right to refuse participating in or performing abortion. There was no question about it. I’m sure it was the same for sex change mutilations.
And now our duly elected wonderful President Trump keeps killing poison pen regulations. Winning!
So millions of people go without lifesaving medical care, but a Obama wanted doctors to spend their time on thing like that? Sounds about right.
