Biden Admin Rejects ‘Protect Life Rule’
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 18 April 2021 | John Semmens

The Biden Administration Department of Health and Human Services announced it will reverse the Trump Administration’s “Protect Life” rule for receiving federal family planning aid, calling it “not in the best interest of public health.” The rule barred the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions and did not require “no kill” family assistance organizations to refer patients to abortion providers.

Secretary Xavier Becerra explained that “the entities the Trump rule protected are not entitled to the consideration he mandated. Fetuses have no rights which the government is obligated to respect. The assertion that they are unborn people is debatable. Since Roe v. Wade, courts have upheld the position that their existence can be terminated at any time the mother opts to do so.”

The Secretary characterized the Trump rule as “an aberration, a ‘wrong turn,’ so to speak, from the path of almost 50 years of enlightened thinking on this issue. Women are conscious, breathing, living human beings. We need to protect them from intrusions into their reproductive choices. This is what the Biden Administration is determined to do. Sites that do perform abortions will be eligible for federal aid. Sites that do not must provide information on where to get an abortion for patients who prefer this option. This is what our democracy decided in the November 2020 election.”

Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Adora Slaughter praised the reversal, calling it “a great day for women’s rights, especially women of color. The Trump policy was especially harmful for minorities. Without the guidance of family planning agencies on how and where to get an abortion too many unwanted children were born. Now, with the Biden rule, minorities will enjoy the same opportunities to terminate their offspring as their better educated and more financially secure white peers.”

I’m not finding any satire in this piece.

“Fetuses have no rights which the government is obligated to respect. The assertion that they are unborn people is debatable.”

Sounds a bit like wording in the “Dread Scott” decision. So, fetuses are not alive, or they are animals, or they are a non protected class of humans that can be killed with impunity? Since a very large number of those killed are unborn black children, how is this not racist? Moreover, how is this not genocide?

To follow Marxist logic to its conclusion, it is evident that human life is allowed only at the will of the state. The power of the state is more important than individual human rights. Therefore, humans are of the same status as animals, in the view of the state. To Marxists, people are cattle, to be culled, harvested, branded, and destroyed when necessary.
Get used to thinking like this.

Biden rejects Protect Life Rule, but he is a devout Catholic? Something is wrong here. He has fostered baby-killing in abortion around the world as well as all over this country. He is using taxpayers money where he can get away with it to foster abortion, but he is a devout Catholic? Somehow I do not believe that he is Catholic at all, that his mass going is for effect and politics. I believe he is a big phoney and his actions prove it 100%.
