A federal judge in New York has blocked HHS' so-called conscience rule, which lets health care workers who cite moral or religious reasons opt out of providing certain medical procedures, such as abortion, sterilization and assisted suicide

"The Court vacates the 2019 rule in its entirety," US District Judge Paul Engelmayer wrote in an opinion Wednesday, noting that existing federal conscience provisions"accommodate religious and moral objections to health care services provided by recipients of federal funds" and"recognize and protect undeniably important rights.

HHS spokesperson Caitlin Oakley told CNN in a statement on Wednesday that"HHS, together with DOJ, is reviewing the court's opinion and so will not comment on the pending litigation at this time." Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, a proponent of religious protection laws, called on Wednesday for the Trump administration to pursue a Supreme Court fight over the rule."This decision is absurd mush," he said in a statement.

The judge is immoral! He should actually have no say in how people should feel about the murder of innocent babies in the womb! Or how they should accept and comply with the murder of someone who wishes to commit suicide!

Hey ready to be so-called overturned on appeal.

Less doctors and nurses is just what the healthcare system needs. I always thought it wasn't strained enough.

WTF do you mean by putting conscience in quotes? And doctors should not be forced to murder babies or help people commit suicide. That’s an atrocity.

“So-called”

Fuck you for this “so-called”. The Catholic Church has been around for 2000 years, your trendy insecure woke priorities were invented by a marketing firm in 2014

does CNN want to force Doctors to perform abortions. Is the editorials in a News Report count as a Banana or an Apple brianstelter

Arrest the judge, and his family. Hold them incommunicado on bread & water until he reverses his illegal ruling. We must get a handle on these rogue judges.

Logically, how can the HHS 'consciousness' rule be rejected, yet the military's 'Conscientious Objector' status is accepted?

Will be reversed as usual. And hopefully the judge gets removed from office for being a partisan activist hack.

Same activism different day

Trumps biggest win is appointing judges not these lunatic dem activist but such are reasons why he will be re-elected

Well done. People would have undoubtedly abused this clause. I'm glad everyone will be able to receive medical treatment without bias.

If you can't do your job, quit. Don't expect the rest of us to accept services according to your whims.
