Democrats Again Attack Religion |
Democrats are again trying to pry some of the religious vote from Republicans, but their actions expose the insincerity of their approach.
The latest example involves an order of Catholic nuns in Hawthorne, New York, who care for the terminally ill. The Washington Times reports the nuns are suing New York State over a transgender rights law that requires nursing homes "to use pronouns, assign rooms and allow restrooms access based on a patient's gender identity, or risk jail time." The New York Department of Health also requires facilities to "create communities" that affirm patients' sexual preferences and "accommodate patients' desire for extramarital relations." Fines of up to $2,000 would be assessed for the first violation and up to $5,000 for repeat violations. "Willful violations" can result in fines up to $10,000 or one year in prison.
