Biden HHS Attacks Rights of Conscience — Pro-Life Members of Congress Fight Back

Unfortunately, the Biden administration continues to be obsessed with keeping the number of abortions performed in the U.S. as high as possible. Fortunately, 25 pro-life senators and representatives are fighting back.

Biden's regulators have proposed a new rule that threatens to erase the conscience protections that prevent medical professionals from being forced to participate in abortions. The proposed rule states, "our health care systems must effectively deliver services, including safe, legal abortions, to all who need them in order to protect patients' health and dignity." Predictably, the "health and dignity" of the innocent preborn child, who will be dismembered or scalded with powerful chemicals, is not mentioned.

The Biden administration's proposed rule is morally repugnant and also likely violates federal conscience statutes that have been passed by Congress, including the Conscience Protection Act.

The pro-life members of Congress, led by Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) and Senator James Lankford (R-OK), along with Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) in the House of Representatives, have filed a public letter with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), demanding they "enforce all conscience protections" Congress has passed. The senators remind Biden's HHS bureaucrats that those statutes protect all medical professionals from performing or assisting in any health care services, procedures or research to which "they may object for religious, moral, ethical, or other reasons."

JDFI believes this battle over the "conscience rights" of Christians and people of other faiths should be a wake-up call to the Church. This attack on conscience safeguards along with the continued effort to force all taxpayers to subsidize abortions, euthanasia and radical gender surgeries is a direct attack on our basic liberties and freedom of religion.

JDFI is working diligently to encourage additional pro-life members of Congress to sign the letter. Those who have currently signed include: Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), John Boozman(R-AR), Mike Braun (R-IN), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), John Kennedy (R-LA), James Lankford (R-OK), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-KS), Jim Risch(R-ID), Marco Rubio (R-FL), John Thune (R-SD), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Representatives Robert Aderholt (R-AL), Jim Banks (R-IN), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Andy Harris (R-MD), Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), Christopher Smith (R-NJ) and Brad Wenstrup (R-OH).

Target Ignites Firestorm with Launch of New Clothing Line Designed by Satanist

Target just missed the bullseye by a mile and then some. The retail giant has selected a brand out of the United Kingdom that promotes Satan. You read that right. Target's partner is called Abprallen. It has produced an apparel collection for Target's celebration of LGBTQ Pride month that proudly promotes satanic images and themes. This is as outrageous as it gets.
