Title: Is Trump Fighting for Religious Liberty?
Topic: Trump Fights For Religious Liberty

Discussed by David Christensen
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)

The Family Research Council applauds the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for announcing the formation of a new Conscience and Religious Freedom Division in the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR). HHS announced that the division "will provide HHS with the focus it needs to more vigorously and effectively enforce existing laws protecting the rights of conscience and religious freedom, the first freedom protected in the Bill of Rights."

David Christensen, the Vice President of Government Affairs with the FRC, explains this great news in more detail.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is President Trump delivering on campaign promises to protect religious liberties?

What will be the purpose of the new Conscience and Religious Freedom Division within the HHS office for Civil Rights?

Are there laws which protect ALL pharmacists, nurses, doctors, and other medical workers who do not wish to offer services or counseling that may be against their religious convictions? Key Word: ALL.

Did the Obama administration ignore these laws and even proactively discriminate and punish those who deeply held religious objections to performing and/or participating in activities that violated their religious freedoms?

Obama discriminated. Trump is protecting. Does this mean future administrations can set their own course? If so, do elections even matter?
