I never looked back after leaving New Jersey. The entire state has succumbed to far-left progressive policies that led to some of the highest tax rates in the nation. These progressive woke ideas have infiltrated every aspect of the state, down to healthcare. Inspira Health Network is now permitting parents to choose their newborn’s gender and sexual identities at birth.

Gone are the days when newborns were swaddled in blue or pink blankets. “Do you identify your baby as: female, male, transgender female/trans woman/male to female, transgender male/trans man/female to male, gender queer, neither exclusively male nor female, additional gender category/self-described.”

That’s right—hospitals are permitting parents to DECIDE the gender of their infants. If you always wanted a boy but gave birth to a girl, you can simply decide that your baby identifies as a boy. This is “the science” they expect the public to blindly trust. XX or XY simply does not suffice.

Since they always take matters ten steps further, the questionnaire also permits parents to DECIDE their newborn’s sexuality. “Which of the following best describes your baby: lesbian or gay, straight or heterosexual, bisexual, questioning or unsure, self-describe.”

Truly disgusting and disturbing state-permitted child abuse.

Yet, these same progressives believe that unborn babies do not have rights and want “birthing people” to have the ability to terminate pregnancy at any point. But as soon as the baby enters this cruel world, they should know their sexuality and pick a trendy gender. It is atrocious that this practice is legal.

“Per recent guidance from the New Jersey Department of Health stating that health systems can collect that data in a clinically appropriate and culturally competent manner, Inspira Health will request this information from adults. This update in protocol remains compliant with the law, and we respect patients’ right to decline to respond,” Inspira Health said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

New Jersey implemented a law in June 2022 that requires healthcare networks to collect gender and sexual orientation data “in a culturally competent and sensitive manner.” “The bill was modeled after an Indiana statute and is designed to provide public health officials with the data they need to develop public health measures that effectively serve all New Jerseyans,” Democrat Herbert Conaway, one of the creators of this bill, stated.

However, he insists that the bill was not intended to provide troubled parents with the power to select their baby’s sexual and gender identity. “Parents who are welcoming newborns into the world should be focused on their baby, not answering a questionnaire about sex or identity. This bill should never have been applied this way.”

Republican New Jersey State Sen. Holly Schepisi is fighting to remove minors from this obscene data collection requirement. “Apparently, as drafted, as guidance was being provided, the interpretation by a lot of people, was that this data must be collected from all demographics without regard to age,” Schepisi stated.

These babies did not ask to be born to mentally disturbed, woke parents who can manipulate their identity at will. They reach adolescence and are bombarded with gender and sexual identity confusion at school. The Trump Administration would like to ban gender reassignment surgeries for minors because it is CHILD ABUSE—life-altering, irreversible, horrendous child abuse that the far-left is encouraging. We look at other cultures in terror as they castrate females or marry off their 8-year-olds but turn a blind eye to the blatant new form of child abuse occurring in the United States.

LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE!
