Federal Judge Overturns ObamaCare's Transgender Protections, Because Jesus

A U.S. District Court judge in Texas has overturned the protections written into ObamaCare for transgender people, ruling they violate the religious rights of healthcare providers who hold religious beliefs that oppose the existence of transgender people.

On Tuesday Judge Reed O’Connor, appointed by President George W. Bush, “vacated an Obama-era regulation that prohibited providers and insurers who receive federal money from denying treatment or coverage to anyone based on sex, gender identity or termination of pregnancy,” The Hill reports.

I know this will be appealed and hopefully overturned... but who the fuck does he think he is? If you do not want to offer a service to any group of people cause religion. get out of business. How is this different to 'no coloureds, no irish, no dogs' ? from 50 years ago...

right-wing xtians demand the right to insinuate their beliefs into everyone else's lives but will scream discrimination when another person exercises their right to say no.

Packing the courts with RW extremists and political activists is a special problem for minorities.

At the She the People gathering, a question was about the very serious, growing problem of racist persecution from Republican judicial appointees and what Sanders would do about them. He said as president he'd appoint Supreme Court justices and anyway "the Democrats do it too."

Given how often RW extremism and power result in corruption, some of these people will resign to avoid prosecution, but some others of the worst will have to be removed for cause.

America needs to vote Democrat as if our lives depend on it.
