When It Comes to Health, Biology Matters
Last week, my friend Christopher Yuan tweeted that his hospital is now asking patients for their sexual orientation, gender identity and “sex assigned at birth.” Apparently though certain hospitals are eager to align themselves with trans ideology, they have to know whether a patient is male or female. Why? Because, it matters.
For example, symptoms of a heart attack typically manifest differently for men than women. And differences in hormones, genetics, liver, and respiratory function significantly alter how a patient should be treated, even when it comes to treating Covid.
In other words, when lives are on the line, biology wins over ideology. No doctor who hopes to heal rather than harm, not to mention who wants to keep his job, will medically treat a biological male as though he were a biological female. The question that remains is whether or not doctors will be forced to pretend as if biology doesn’t determine sex, even as their work proves it does.

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