How the Trump Administration is Protecting Healthcare Workers’ Religious Liberty

Donald Trump has done more for the rights of Christians in America (and around the world) than the past five presidential administrations combined. No one saw that coming! In his latest efforts, the President has now created a new office that specifically safeguards the rights of healthcare workers. More on this in a moment.

Many Americans don’t even realize that this Christian renaissance is happening thanks to the Trump administration, quietly, behind the scenes. The media will not report on it and even many conservative websites are uncomfortable with some of the president’s moves to strengthen the church, because they simply have never seen a Republican that did more than pay lip service to Evangelicals for their votes. The two previous Republican presidents, as well as most of the failed Republican candidates for president, have been downright terrible for the cause of Christianity.

George W. Bush boasted of his “compassionate conservatism” on the campaign trail. To be fair, this was a more catchy slogan than, “Eskimos need abortions, too!” Then, in between giving speeches in which he called Islam a “religion of peace,” he was handing out grants to Native American tribes to open Planned Parenthood clinics on reservations and in remote Alaskan villages.

His father, George H. W. Bush, called for massive expansions to Planned Parenthood back in the 1960s (even prior to Roe v. Wade), in order to cut back on welfare costs. Killing the babies of the poor would be a boon to the taxpayer, don’t you see?

Sen. John McCain, who ran unsuccessfully for president in 2008, has a notable contempt for Christianity. Mitt Romney, while certainly more wholesome than McCain, is cut from the same dynastic pro-abortion cloth. With candidates like these, it is no wonder so many Christians have stopped voting.

Then along comes Donald Trump. The administration has now created the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division within the Department of Health & Human Services, DHHS. Rather than simply being another office filled with bureaucrats ready, willing and able to hold countless meetings, this is a division specifically tasked with protecting the jobs and rights of healthcare workers. Whereas nurses and anesthesiologists used to have worry about losing their job if they objected to participating in procedures that violate their conscience, this new division will protect their rights.

Imagine being a Christian nurse and being assigned to participate in an abortion, an assisted suicide or in US Senate candidate Bradley Manning’s sex change operation. (Actually, don’t imagine any of those things. But you see our point!)

Robert Severino has been appointed to oversee the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division. For those who don’t know him, Severino is a pro-life attorney with a long track record of defending religious liberty rights. Whereas the Obama administration boasted that it would expand the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives and then turned it into an Islamic kickback playground, President Trump appears to be playing for keeps. Severino is not known for moderation in defending the rights of Christians.

This new division at the DHHS was necessary, based on the previous rules put in place by Barack Obama. Healthcare workers could be discriminated against under the rules and regulations put in place between 2009 and 2016. A woman’s “right to choose” trumped the Christian’s conscientious objection to abortion. Obama’s acolytes liked to claim that this was in the name of fairness, but grownups recognize it for what it really was: Mafia-like coercion which forces a person to do something they find repugnant, or lose their livelihood.

Barack Obama and his team of SJW culture “warriors” loved changing the rules to the point where they were forcing Catholic hospitals to provide abortions, and Christian employers to provide contraception on health insurance plans. Not only that, but Obama and his Justice Department cronies reveled in enforcing such dictates, suing everyone from the Little Sisters of the Poor to Christian bakers and toy stores.

Rather than simply rescinding Obama’s assaults on Christianity, President Trump appears to be setting up new infrastructure and marching in the opposite direction. Future Christian politicians could learn a few things from his strategies.

Don’t let the media get you “down in the dumps” with its constant lies, doom and gloom. President Trump is doing far more for the rights of Christians than many are aware of, and that is a good thing!
