HHS Threatens to Revoke California’s Federal Funding Over Abortion Coverage Mandate

The federal Health and Human Services Department announced Jan. 24 that it is taking action against California for requiring private insurers to cover abortions.

“We’ve received complaints by religious entities, including a group of religious sisters from the Roman Catholic Church, including a Protestant church, that have been required by California to cover abortion as part of their insurance,” HHS Secretary Alex Azar told the crowd at Family Research Council’s ProLifeCon. “We have sought diligently to remediate that … They have refused. And so as of this moment, I have issued a notice of violation to the state of California.”

The notice, from HHS’s Office of Civil Rights, gave California 30 days to respond and take corrective action or risk losing federal funding.

“Once again, President Trump’s administration is delivering on his promise to protect human life and all Americans’ freedom of conscience,” Azar said in an HHS press release. “Under President Trump, HHS has been vigorously enforcing the statutes Congress passed to protect Americans’ consciences and institutionalizing these protections within the department’s civil rights work.”

The civil rights office argues that California is violating the Weldon Amendment, which prohibits federal funds from going to states that discriminate against any health care entity that does not pay for, or provide, coverage for abortions.

California established a rule in 2014 that requires all insurance plans to cover abortion.

“No one in America should be forced to pay for or cover other people’s abortions,” said Roger Severino, director of the Office of Civil Rights. “We are putting California on notice that it must stop forcing people of goodwill to subsidize the taking of human life, not only because it’s the moral thing to do, but because it’s the law.”

“It’s been a problem since 2014,” Tony Perkins, FRC president, wrote in his Washington Update blog. “That’s when California’s health department started strong-arming employers into covering abortion on their insurance exchange. As bad as that was, the Golden State made it worse. Instead of exempting churches and other groups with religious convictions, the state ordered them to comply too.”

Early communications suggest that California politicians plan to defy the administration.

“California won’t be deterred,” California Attorney General Xavier Becerra tweeted. “We will fight this by any means necessary.”

Amir Tsarfati: For Israel To Be Safe, The Cancerous Tumor Of Hamas Has To Be Removed

This has been a very disappointing week as Israel has watched the United States separating itself from us. Through ultimatums, threats to withhold arms, vote abstentions, and condescending rhetoric, the Biden administration has made it clear that it believes that “peace at all costs” between Israel and Hamas is necessary for a November reelection.

Purim: Jewish Survival Isn’t Contingent On The World’s Hostility, But The Power Of God

Today, we have the same spirit of the annihilation of the Jews coming from the same part of the world. Modern Iranian leaders are obsessed with the spirit of Haman even today. We don’t need an Esther in the palace anymore. We need the prayers of the saints worldwide.

A Remnant May Be Cheap And Worthless By The World’s Standards, But Not By God’s

But to God, those He considers “remnants” are assigned a high value indeed, since He sets them aside to undertake His high and holy calling. Likewise, the remnant church may be hated by the world and disliked by Laodicean-era churches, but God has a distinct purpose for them.
