Biden admin to rescind Trump ‘conscience’ rule for health workers​

The Biden administration is preparing to scrap a Trump-era rule that allows medical workers to refuse to provide services that conflict with their religious or moral beliefs, three people familiar with the deliberations told POLITICO. A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed that the policy change is underway, saying: “HHS has made clear through the unified regulatory agenda that we are in the rulemaking process.” The move, which HHS could propose as soon as the end of this month, comes as many GOP-led states are moving to limit access to abortions and transgender care, and as progressive advocacy groups are calling on the federal government to do more to protect the rights of patients.

“As state politicians continue to strip people of their sexual and reproductive rights and freedoms, it’s imperative that the Biden-Harris administration revoke this discriminatory policy and help ensure people can access the health care and information they need when they need it,” said Jacqueline Ayers, the senior vice president of policy, organizing and campaigns for Planned Parenthood, which was part of a lawsuit against the Trump administration rule in 2019. “We look forward to seeing the details of the new rule and are excited about this step forward.” The so-called conscience rule, unveiled in 2018 and finalized in 2019, was blocked by federal courts after dozens of states, cities and advocacy groups sued, and has never been implemented.

Had it gone forward, it would have allowed doctors, nurses, medical students, pharmacists and other health workers to refuse to provide abortions, contraception, gender affirming care, HIV and STD services, vasectomies or any procedure to which they object. Rescinding the rule is seen by progressive advocates as a key part of dismantling the Trump administration’s legacy on reproductive rights, which Democrats promised to do once they took control of Washington. Last year, Biden moved to undo anti-abortion restrictions on the Title X family planning program and foreign aid, and many groups have pushed for the “conscience” rule to be next. “There is so much to unravel,” said Leila Abolfazli, the director of federal reproductive rights at the National Women’s Law Center, which sued the Trump administration over the rule in 2019. “I’m encouraged that they have been working through all these pieces.”

The planned rescission is currently under review at the Office of Management and Budget, which is often the final step before a proposed regulation goes public. Many progressive groups that have called for the rule change say they’re reserving judgment until they see whether the Biden administration will completely undo the Trump administration rule or leave some aspects in place. “We look forward to seeing the proposed rule’s text to ensure that the federal government safeguards patients’ need for high-quality health care,” said Audrey Sandusky, the spokesperson for the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association. Still, she added, “This action will go a long way toward strengthening patient access to high-quality health care and protecting the integrity of key HHS programs, including the Title X family planning program.”

Bolded part for emphasis.

"Wait, if it wasn't even implemented, why are they making such a big deal about rescinding it?" you might be asking. They need a win, that's why.

We've been smeckledorfed.

I'm not even mad.

The first year or two of presidencies are usually undoing things the previous administration did. But to scrap something that never even saw the light of day is a massive kind of reach. I'm curious to see what other Trump-era policies (or planned policies) will be trotted out and rescinded by the current administration in an attempt to gain some sort of popularity points back.

The Biden administration being rated consistently lower than Trump's must really stick in their craw.

cool story bro

I live in the PNW, I know antifa, they are my neighbors. I also was a red diaper baby in the bay area in the 80s and went to high schools full of 60s activist teachers. They are not the same people.

The national sculpture garden, maybe. Or the EO on Federal architecture that declared no more ugly Federal buildings. Further abroad, maybe he can break up the Abraham Accords or escalate tensions in the Korean peninsula. Maybe he will put koi fish on a strict diet.

It takes a few bad apples to spoil the cart. The left does this to the right all the time. They paint a few bad eggs as being representative of a whole movement. Sorry, I don't make the rules, just follow em.

lol I didn't mean they were nice people

the 60s terrorists weren't super functional or competent but antifa is 100% weedy trustafarian junkies who can't change a tire.

even if antifa were the same 60s people (or the same *kind* of people since they *can't* be the same people, those people are in their 70s) the feds surveill everyone hella hard and there's no terrorism happening unless it's allowed.

(there *are* antifa-adjacent people who are actual threats. They are animal rights/ecoterrorists. They'd fuck shit up if they could and they probably did the recent Montana train derailment but they're just as heavily infilitrated and watched as WNs. )

Biden tells Obama he is running again in 2024.

He believes he is the only one who can defeat Trump...again. Thoughts?

No. Just... No. Pritzker of Illinois Governor fame was desperately trying to push the new tourism plan for Illinois because tourism is down by about 20 billion or so dollars. Where he usually drips smarmy smugness he was damn near flailing saying "this will work!"

If Pritzker is scared the only way that Biden wins in 2024 is the mysteriously find 600 million votes in the national election.

The fact that she is getting emotional about the thought of children NOT being able to be groomed, mutilated, or in Loudan county, Virginia's case, raped, shows that if we don't get our act together and come back to sanity, we will deserve whatever hell comes for us.

They are going to shoot that senile serial sniffer into space

reminds me of this

Inb4 it explodes and Dems are like, "Oh no how terrible. Anyway, Kamala is the new president."

 

[HandsomeDan]

Of course they will...

Biden's HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra says the Biden administration will "likely" appeal the federal ruling striking down Biden's mask mandate.

Earlier today, Biden said it was "up to [individuals]" to decide for themselves.

We're at the point now where the only people wearing masks are the ones who you do not want to interact with in your life. If someone with a mask asks you a question, ignore them or tell them you can't understand and you need to remove it. They have lost the supposed moral high ground, and any attempt to get it back makes them look like the awkward autist that their self confidence can't handle.

From what we've seen, governments will allow and even fund extremist groups, as long as they operate within the plans the governments have set out. They don't care about ideology. Just as long as you achieve the objectives they want.

And if they take off their mask, resist the urge to go "yikes" when you see how terrible they look.

Now I wait to see if there's leaks or kidnapping attempts are made in the name of medicine. In Minecraft. And Archive is being shit.

A Russian newspaper that echoes viewpoints held by the Russian government is taking aim at President Biden, claiming he suffers from dementia as pressure mounts in Ukraine.

Komsomolskaya Pravda, a pro-Kremlin newspaper headquartered in Moscow, recently published an article questioning whether Biden is "in his right mind" and listed five examples of "dementia that can be found in the President of the United States."

Citing the World Health Organization’s definition of dementia, Lyudmila Plotnikova, the author of the article, said Biden is "very elderly" and "too often in the last years of his life he either forgot names and dates, or lost his orientation in space."
"Americans feel sorry for their president, but at the same time they are wondering if such a person is able to perform the functions of not only the owner of the Oval Office of the White House, but also the supreme commander of one of the most powerful armies in the world," Plotnikova wrote for the paper, which was founded nearly 100 years ago in Russia.
Pointing to columns written by American physicians, as well as previous health battles Biden has faced, including those related to brain aneurysms, the paper suggested Biden has repeatedly "embarrassed himself" on the world stage as a result of some kind of cognitive impairment.
The author listed five categories to support the paper's claim that Biden suffers from dementia and provided specific examples for each. The categories included: forgetfulness, disorientation, aimless wandering, behavioral changes including aggression, and difficulties in movement.

The paper highlighted a recent appearance Biden made in North Carolina where he "finished his speech, turned to the side and began to speak into empty space, and then began to imitate a handshake with someone invisible."
"Biden began to feverishly look around the stage on which he stood," the author said of the incident. "His expression was confused. This miserable spectacle ended with the fact that the president began to wander aimlessly around the crowded hall."
The paper also cited examples of when Biden "yelled at reporters" and insisted that "experts are sure that the state of health of the leader of the American nation inspires serious concern."
Rebekah Koffler, a former U.S. DIA intelligence officer focused on Russia and the author of "Putin's Playbook: Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America," told Fox News Digital that the paper's efforts are "almost certainly part of Russia’s psychological operation designed to discredit President Biden and his administration’s decision-making with regard to the Russia-Ukraine conflict."

"This accusation is also likely in part a payback for U.S. media’s allegations of Russian President Putin’s COVID-related mental instability," Koffler said. "The Kremlin seeks to portray U.S. military assistance to Ukraine as lacking legitimacy because the decision to do so is made by a person who is allegedly cognitively impaired."
Koffler said Putin is "building the justification narrative for domestic and foreign audiences for whatever escalatory action he would take in the ongoing conflict."
The newspaper faced scrutiny last month after it deleted an online report that claimed almost 10,000 Russian troops had been killed since Putin began invading Ukraine. According to a statement released by the paper, the article appeared online for a short time after it was published by hackers.
