Victory! Trump Administration Cuts Obamacare Rule Forcing Abortion, Sex-Change Coverage

Calvin Freiburger : Jul 15, 2020  LifeSiteNews

This is only the latest in a series of moves by the current administration to undo the pro-abortion legacy of former President Barack Obama … Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled that the administration could rescind Obama's rule forcing religious institutions, such as the Little Sisters of the Poor, to cover contraception in health insurance plans.

In May 2016, the Obama administration redefined "sex discrimination" under the so-called Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare) to include an individual's "internal sense of gender, which may be male, female, neither, or a combination of male and female." The rule also covered "termination of pregnancy" under its definition of sex discrimination.

The rule was blocked in December of that year, meaning it hasn't actually been enforced, but as long as it is on the books, danger remained of a future court reviving it. So, the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced last month that it will "enforce Section 1557 by returning to the government's interpretation of sex discrimination according to the plain meaning of the word ‘sex' as male or female and as determined by biology."

On Sunday, HHS announced that it has finalized the new rule undoing the old one. "HHS will enforce Section 1557 by returning to the government's interpretation of sex discrimination according to the plain meaning of the word ‘sex' as male or female and as determined by biology," the announcement declared.
