Jesus vs Satan: U.S. courts war
On the global stage, the goal of funding abortion clinics and advocacy by the U.N. and the U.S. across Third World nations is to stem the tide of runaway population explosion.
Federal court blocks Biden's 'transgenderism'
The war between Jesus and Satan is infecting U.S. jurisprudence. Joe Biden came up with an administrative order requiring doctors to perform transgender surgery even if they have moral objections.
However, on 9 December 2022, the Federal Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit unanimously and permanently blocked the controversial US Department of Health and Human Services 'transgender mandate', which requires doctors to perform surgery even if they are convinced it could harm the patient. The Biden order includes allowing even children to have transgender surgery at such an early age.
"The federal government has no business forcing doctors to violate their consciences or perform controversial procedures that could permanently harm their patients," Luke Goodrich of Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, said.
'Conversion Therapy' attempts to persuade patients away from transgender surgery through 'counseling', which has become a big controversy. Biden and transgender advocates have vehemently objected to this form of 'brainwashing'. Biden issued an executive order on 15 June 2022, banning the use of 'Conversion Therapy' "to defend the LGBT community from various forms of discrimination and expressed opposition."
The order described 'Conversion Therapy' as "efforts to suppress or change an individual's sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression." Twenty states and about a hundred municipalities have banned 'conversion therapy' for minors, virtually leaving the transgender issue in the hands of consenting parents.
On the other hand, André Van Mol, chair of the Committee on Adolescent Sexuality of the American College of Pediatricians, says banning counseling will encourage "sexual minority youth to experiment on unproven hormonal and surgical-affirming therapy (GAT)". (Newsmax, 16 December 2022).
Abortion drops by 97% in Texas
Meanwhile, another victory for anti-abortionists is the dramatic drop by 97 percent of abortions in Texas, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Texas was the pioneer in anti-abortion laws adopted subsequently by many other states.
