"Transgender Rights" Bill to Be Rammed thru by Illegitimate Means?

In Washington, they just rammed through ObamaCare illegitimately using “reconciliation”, ignoring the Senate’s 41 opposition votes. In Massachusetts, they attach controversial bills as budget amendments so they can sneak them through when legislators and voters aren’t watching carefully. That way, they can’t be repealed. (That is how they sneaked through the Commission on Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Youth in 2007, making it repeal-proof.)

We suspected this tactic might be the fall-back for the radical Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes Bill, H1728. Sure enough, that fear is confirmed at MassPoliticsBlog:

Rep. Joseph R. Driscoll of Braintree and Rep. Jason M. Lewis of Winchester have submitted an amendment to the budget to add the controversial ‘Transgender Rights‘ (H1728/S1687) Bill to the House Budget.

The amendment is written in an abbreviated form to make it less conspicuous, and the amendment proposes that the language be added as section 20, in a large budget bill, with 51 sections. One troubling aspect is that Rep. Driscoll is on the House Ways and Means Committee and in a good position to sneak the language in, and hopefully have it not be noticed by the majority of legislators when they vote on the full budget bill.

The Transgender Rights bill would change many sections of Massachusetts law designed to protect people from sexual or racial discrimination, adding the transgendered as a protected class. Among its critics the bill is called the “Bathroom Bill” because it would allow men who self identify as women to use women’s bathrooms.

Whatever your position on the bill, this is a clear attempt to circumvent the legislative process, and to avoid public debate of a controversial issue. [emphasis added]

For a glimpse of the bizarre public behaviors this bill would legitimize, see our reports on the cross-dresser invasion of a Peabody restaurant, the Trans Pride parade in Northampton, and our video of huge men using the women’s restroom at the Peabody Marriott.

Cuba Pays for Sex-Change Surgeries: Model for Mass. & Obamacare?

The leftist dream state, Cuba, is a model for Michael-Moore leftists and assorted socialists pushing Obamacare. It serves as a warning to the rest of us.

While breast cancer screenings and elder care may go out the window if the health care nightmare bill is passed, we expect that the GLBT “protected class” will get whatever “health care” they want -- including “sex-change” operations – as they now do in Cuba.

If passed in Massachusetts, Bill H1728 would criminalize discrimination based on “gender identity.” You can be sure that would extend to transgender medical coverage demands, however preposterous. (Remember, GLAD has already won IRS tax write-offs for “sex-change” surgeries.)

Now we read in Bay Windows:

Since 2008, Cuba has begun footing the bill for the country’s transgender men and women to undergo gender reassignment surgery.

Mariela Castro, the daughter of President Raul Castro and niece of former leader Fidel, confirmed to reporters on March 9 that the country has been paying for the operations for the past two years.

"These processes of negotiation are sometimes done very quietly, so as not to stir up ghosts," she told the Associated Press. Castro is the head of the country’s National Centre for Sexual Education and is Cuba’s leading LGBT rights advocate.

An estimated eight transgender people have undergone the government-funded surgery. 22 more are said to be on a waiting list.

The country’s first gender reassignment procedure, performed in 1988, spurred such a public outcry that the practice was banned until 2007. The legislation that legalized gender reassignment surgery three years ago was not publicized, Castro said, so as not to cause controversy. She was one of the Cuban advocates who led push to lift the ban.

During his tenure as the country’s leader, Fidel Castro viewed homosexuality and sexual diversity as a corrupt consequence of capitalism.

Taxpayer-Funded Abortions: Massachusetts RomneyCare Leads the Way for ObamaCare

Massachusetts has led the way for ObamaCare taxpayer-funded abortions. Governor Mitt Romney (with guidance from the still proud, would-be conservative think tank Heritage Foundation!) allied himself with the corrupt Democrat legislature (and its godfather Ted Kennedy) to pass a hideous mandated health insurance program here. 

Here is how the "Four Women, Inc." abortion clinic (in Attleboro, Mass.) advertises its abortion services, as funded by RomneyCare:

Abortion Care:
Convenient day and evening appointments are available for abortion care. Surgical Abortion from 5.5 to 20 weeks. Medicaton Abortions from 5.5 to 7.5 weeks.

Mass Health:
Most Mass Health programs cover pregnancy termination services. Please call your Mass Health worker or the clinic for further information.

Four Women does not provide abortion services over twenty weeks, although our physicians can make referrals to a network of leading hospitals for additional assessment and care. Our goal is to work with you to find the best doctor for your individual situation.

Four Women, Inc. was recently cited for sanitary code violations by the Mass. Department of Public Health after improper, unsanitary disposal of biological waste. Now what might that waste have been?

That’s what ObamaCare will bring to the country. Abortions at “convenient day and evening appointments.” And a growing bureaucracy concerned with “sanitary violations” rather than murder of fellow human beings. All paid for by your tax dollars.

Nice looking men in suits work out the murder of babies and force you to pay. On April 12, 2006, Governor Mitt Romney signed the mandatory health insurance bill into law in historic Faneuil Hall as Ted Kennedy, later disgraced Speaker of the House Sal DiMasi (right), and Senate President Robert Travaglini (yellow necktie) look on.
