Biden Administration to Reinterpret “Sex” in Obamacare Law

LGBT, Transgender,

On Monday the Biden Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services announced it will redefine the word “sex” in Title IX and the federal Obamacare law to include sexual-orientation and gender-identity.

The move reverses a Trump-era policy that interpreted “sex” to mean simply biological sex — not sexual orientation or gender identity.

In 2016 the Obama Administration began issuing guidelines and memos redefining “sex” to include sexual-orientation and gender-identity.

The Trump Administration rolled back many of these radical policies. Now that President Biden is in office, his administration is reinstituting them.

Abortion Supporters Say Arkansas Has Enacted a Near-Record Number of Pro-Life Laws This Year

Abortion, , ,

Recently the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization closely aligned with Planned Parenthood published a report saying that 2021 is on track to be the most anti-abortion year in decades.

The report says,

Five states—Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky and Oklahoma—enacted restrictions on abortion clinics, an issue that has not been hot in state legislatures since the Supreme Court in 2016 struck down regulations enacted in Texas. Most notably, Arkansas and Kentucky passed laws making it easier for state agencies to close abortion clinics.

Furthermore, a disturbing record was set this week: With its enactment of a new restriction on abortion clinics, Arkansas has now enacted 20 restrictions in 2021, tying Louisiana’s 1978 record for the most restrictions in a single year.

By our count, Arkansas enacted 14 excellent, pro-life laws during the past legislative session. That’s certainly a record for the Arkansas Legislature.

These new laws could save thousands of women and unborn children from abortion in the years to come. That’s something to celebrate.
