HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Moves to Restrict 'Gender-Affirming Care' for Minors


TheGuardian.com:

The Trump administration unveiled new actions aimed at eliminating transition-related medical care for minors across the US on Thursday, referring to such treatments as “sex-rejecting procedures”, a term used by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). As part of the effort, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will initiate a rule-making process that would prevent hospitals from offering puberty blockers, hormone treatments, or surgical procedures to minors if they wish to participate in Medicare or Medicaid. 

The proposal would also prohibit Medicaid funds from being used to cover this type of care. Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (Chip) together cover nearly half of all American children. “Under my leadership, and answering President Trump’s call to action, the federal government will do everything in its power to stop unsafe, irreversible practices that put our children at risk,” Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, said in a statement. 

“This administration will protect America’s most vulnerable. Our children deserve better – and we are delivering on that promise.”

Unless you're a part of the woke cult that is today's Democrat party, this issue isn't complicated: there are two genders and men can't be women and women can't be men. But hey if you're an adult and still want to mutilate your body because you've convinced yourself that you were born in the 'wrong body', go ahead and get 'gender-afffirming care' and carry on with your wicked life, just leave the kids alone.

Appeals Court Slaps Down Activist, Liberal Judge, Upholds 'BBB' Law to Defund Planned Parenthood



PBS.com:
A U.S. appeals court panel on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to block Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood while legal challenges continue. 
A federal judge in July ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation. 
Planned Parenthood said Thursday’s ruling means that more than 1.1 million patients can’t use their Medicaid insurance at its health centers. That also puts as many as 200 of those health centers at risk of closure, Planned Parenthood said in a statement.
No matter where you stand on abortion and/or Planned Parenthood, one thing's for sure: conservatives better keep an eye out on Judge Indira Talwani: an Obama-appointed, uber-liberal, activist judge willing to defy the GOP at every step (even when it comes to bill's passed by Congress and signed by the President) who clearly sees her utter defiance of the Right as a path to perhaps, the Supreme Court one day. Hell, Judge Talwani is even willing to make up shit (like the OBBB being 'unconstitutional' because it cuts funding for Planned Parenthood) as she goes along if it can get in the GOP's way. Yeah, this chick is dangerous.
