[2] Stanton Healthcare Founder and CEO, Brandi Swindell, Calls for Pregnancy Resource Centers and Life-affirming Clinics to Resist and Not Comply with HHS if They Issue Regulations or Mandates for Abortion Referrals Under a Secretary Xavier Becerra

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 2020 /
Christian Newswire/ -- If abortion mandates are required by HHS, Ms. Swindell says, "Stanton Healthcare will not comply. We will risk arrest, jail time, and fines to defend our right to provide quality compassionate, medically-accurate care to the women we serve."

The group is asking the Senate to reject Xavier Becerra's nomination and for Mr. Biden to nominate a person who is committed to providing true health care services to the nation rather than promoting a radical extremist political agenda.
 
Stanton also calls for the over 3,000 pregnancy resource centers and life-affirming clinics to reject and refuse to comply with any HHS regulations under a Biden Administration which would call for abortion referrals or counseling.
 
Stanton Public Policy Center is a Woman's advocacy and educational group that works on issues of human rights and justice which empower and inspire women.  It is affiliated with Stanton Healthcare which has life-affirming women's health clinics in America and internationally.
 
Danielle Versluys, Director of Stanton Healthcare of Southern California states:

 

"Attorney General Becerra has a track record of targeting pregnancy medical clinics like Stanton Healthcare in California. As was made clear by the Supreme Court's ruling in NIFLA v. Becerra, pregnancy centers and clinics should not be forced to refer for abortions against their will, contrary to AG Becerra's efforts.
 
"As a lifelong resident of California and the director of a fully licensed pregnancy medical clinic in this state, I emphatically urge the U.S. Senate to reject the appointment of AG Becerra as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Becerra has demonstrated that he is unqualified for the HHS position and is radically biased in support of abortion - to the point of defending unconstitutional laws targeting legal clinics which provide charitable services at no cost to underserved, often minority, populations. The policies which AG Becerra has defended go against the principle of 'do no harm,' and attempted to force us to participate in actions which are by nature anti-woman.
 
"Stanton Healthcare of Southern California would not adhere to a state mandate requiring our clinic to promote and refer for abortions, and we will not comply with any future HHS mandate which would require similar moral compromise."

 

Brandi Swindell, Founder and CEO of Stanton Healthcare states: 

 

"The nomination of Attorney General Becerra by President-Elect Biden to HHS Secretary is deeply troubling on many levels. It would undo the great strides made in the past four years to protect women's health and human life in the womb.
 
"AG Becerra has a track record of working against life-affirming women's medical clinics like Stanton. How do we judge future behavior? By past behavior.
 
"If he is confirmed, it will be a nightmare for women's health. We strongly urge the Senate to oppose the confirmation of AG Becerra and to do everything within their power to protect pregnancy centers and clinics.
 
"I want to make it clear as the Founder and CEO of Stanton Healthcare: if Becerra becomes the HHS Secretary, our Stanton Healthcare clinics will never refer for abortions regardless of any mandates set forth by HHS. We will not comply. We would risk arrest, jail time, and fines to defend our right to provide quality compassionate, medically-accurate care to the clientele we serve. And we encourage pregnancy centers and clinics across the nation to refuse to be intimidated into compliance with abortion referrals. Now is the time for us to fight and stand like never before."

[3] The Pope Issues Another Heretical Document Contradicting God’s Word

 

Roman Catholic Pope Francis issued the latest in a long line of papal letters that fly in the face of God’s Word, the Holy Bible. Entitled Fratelli Tutti (“Brothers All”), the encyclical letter calls for global unity. It builds on the Document on Human Fraternity that the Pope signed with Ahman al-Tayyeb, the Grand Imam of al-Azhar in Abu Dhabi, in February 2019.

 

It teaches the heresy of the universal Fatherhood of God. It teaches the heresy that all beliefs bring richness to the human family. It teaches that “Jesus Christ is in those who are abandoned or excluded.” It calls for open borders. “Each country also belongs to the foreigner inasmuch as a territory’s goods must not be denied to a needy person coming from elsewhere.” It denounces capital punishment and calls for the “care of the whole planet.” It calls for the “subordination of all private property to the universal destination of the earth’s goods, and thus the right of all to their use,” which, of course, is communism. It rejects the concept of a “just war,” calls for disarmament, promotes the myth that disarmament would produce global peace, and makes the ridiculous claim that war can be stayed “with a word” and “peace can be maintained by peace.”

[4] Parents Lose Custody of Teen Daughter after Refusing to Commit to Sex Change

 

The following is excerpted from “Parents Lose Custody,” Reformation Charlotte, Dec. 1, 2020: “The parents of a ‘transgender’ teenage girl--born a female, still a female, and will always be a female--has lost custody of their daughter after refusing to commit to hormone therapy to effect a sex change.

 

According to The Australian, a judge ruled that the confused teenage girl who wants to ‘transition’ into a boy-- an obviously impossible feat to any sane person--on the balance of probabilities, had suffered verbal abuse ‘related to his feelings and expression of gender identity’ (“Parents’ grief as ‘trans teen’ taken into care,” The Australian, Nov. 29, 2020). [This is Australia’s first case of a child removed because parents resisted cross-sex hormone treatment.] ...

 

[A]ctivist judges and politicians are on the prowl seeking to devour every last semblance of sanity and logical thought. In recent months, Australia has implemented a number of anti-conservative policies that seek to destroy Christianity and the Christian family. Conversion therapy has been banned in most of the country, and [by] the ‘Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Bill 2020,’ practitioners face a $10,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison.

 

These policies have been criticized by the Australian Christian Lobby which argues that parents are left vulnerable to criminalization for refusing to accept and allow their child’s ‘gender transition.’”

[5] National Association of Realtors’ Speech Control

 

The following is excerpted from “National Association of Realtors,” Frontpage, Nov. 30, 2020: “The National Association of Realtors claims to have 1.4 million members. There will be fewer members before long as the association begins purging conservative real estate agents.

At the center of the storm was an addition to Article 10 which covers various forms of discrimination. ... Even if you’re at home and you post something opposed to gay marriage or illegal migration, you can lose your business. ... When you’re a real estate agent, you no longer have the right to personal opinions. Article 10-5 immediately transformed 1.4 million people into subordinates at the mercy of NAR brass who have the authority to determine what political or religious views they can hold. ‘It means that we never take our hands off, no matter where we are, no matter what we do, we are always licensed and we are always a member of the National Association of Realtors.’

 

New York State Association of Realtors President Jennifer Stevenson warned. Never taking your ‘hands off’ is endemic to socialist tyrannies and has no place in America. ... Anyone can bring an ‘ethics’ complaint which will lead to a ‘hearing’ with ‘witnesses’ and ‘counsel.’ ... And if they lose that hearing, then not only will they be expelled from the NAR, but the state real estate licensing authority will be told that the agent violated the ‘public trust’ which can lead to the loss of their license. Say the wrong thing on Facebook and lose your license, your business, and your livelihood.
