Dear John,

HHS has issued a proposed rule to re-insert pro-abortion and LGBT ideology into health care. This change was first made under the Obama Administration, was undone by the Trump Administration, and is now being reintroduced under Biden.

In a nutshell, this rule would consider the terms "termination of pregnancy," "sexual orientation," and "gender identity" to be included under the definition for "discrimination on the basis of sex." This denial of scientific reality would result in even further promotion of abortion, a breakdown of conscience rights for medical professionals, and obstacles to the proper diagnosis and care of patients.

The period for public comment on this rule ends on October 3rd. In order to help ensure that this bad regulation is rejected, HHS needs to hear from you today!

This rule could:

* Require doctors and health insurers to perform or cover abortions.
* Make it harder for doctors to properly diagnose and treat patients, particularly those who identify as transgender.
* Require doctors and health insurers to perform/administer or cover gender transition procedures (i.e., puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries), including for minors.

Sadly, these types of incidents are already happening with dire outcomes.

In 2019, a biological female identifying as a man appeared to be an overweight man to hospital staff. Therefore, they had no reason to think the patient was pregnant and either in labor or otherwise suffering from complications. Sadly, because of this, the patient did not receive immediate care and delivered a stillborn baby. The doctor noted that the male classification "threw us off" from the patient's actual medical needs.

In 2017, a nurse at the University of Vermont Medical Center was forced to assist in an abortion, despite her expressed objections on conscience grounds. There were other staff on site who could have assisted in the abortion, yet the hospital forced the nurse to participate or be subject to discipline that could include loss of licensure.

Cases like these will only increase if this proposed rule is adopted.

By law, HHS is required to review your public comment so your voice will be heard, even if you comment anonymously. The activists on the Left are mobilizing comments, so your voice is greatly needed! We've provided a template for you but highly encourage you to personalize it and make it your own.

Please comment today!

Thank you!

Sincerely,
