Federal judge strikes down rule allowing clinicians to object to abortions for moral or religious reasons

A federal judge in New York on Wednesday struck down a new Trump administration rule that would have allowed health care clinicians to refuse to provide abortions for moral or religious reasons.

U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York rejected the federal rule after women's groups, health organizations and multiple states sued the Department of Health and Human Services, arguing the exemptions were unconstitutional.

Unconstitutional?  This ruling is outright tyranny.  Government can force health care workers to participate in abortions?  And allowing them to opt out is considered unconstitutional?  We are doomed as a nation.




If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
If they can't force you to bake a cake, and can't force you to print the t-shirt, they should not ever be able to force one to take a human life.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Can they force clinicians to perform brain surgery as well?

 How the HELL is that even possible. It is ELECTIVE surgery.

Since when did health care workers become federal slaves? Did no one ever tell that idiot judge about a little thing called The Emancipation Proclamation?

He should immediately be removed from the bench.

@thackney

Seems like that has already been done on judges and politicans.
