House Republicans Unveil Post-Roe Messaging Strategy

Morrison met with federal government officials to discuss concerns over anticipated rulemaking under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the Department of Health and Human Services. Under the guise of “gender identity nondiscrimination,” the new rule could redefine standards of care by requiring doctors to perform experimental transgender surgeries (including on minors) against their ethical and medical judgment, and by requiring insurance plans to pay for such dangerous interventions.
