Trump’s HHS revised its conscience regulations to protect President Trump’s promise to enforce federal conscience and religious freedom protections. The proposed conscience provisions include:
- Restricting taxpayer funds, including Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare, from being used by entities with discriminatory policies or practices,
- Protecting Americans who have religious or moral convictions related to certain health care services,
- Recognizing that Americans should not be discriminated against for their religious or moral beliefs when participating in certain health services.
Just after taking office, President Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, which protects $9 billion in foreign aid from being used to fund the global abortion industry.

President Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services just announced the formation of a new Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, tasked with ensuring that laws that protect religious freedom and conscience rights are appropriately enforced.
Religious Liberty
On the annual National Day of Prayer in 2017, President Trump signed an executive order on religious liberty.

EO helped faith-based groups give health care coverage to 13.7 million Americans.

The Justice Department dropped its discrimination lawsuit against North Carolina for its “bathroom bill” (filed under the Obama administration) after North Carolina passed a compromise bill. Homosexual activists still opposed the new bill.
The Trump administration began to undo Section 1557 of Obamacare, which would have helped liberals gain transsexual “rights” through the courts.
President Trump did not proclaim June 2017 as LGBT Pride Month, unlike former presidents Clinton and Obama.

President Trump signed a final order on March 23, 2018, that banned transgender individuals from military service but with certain exceptions.
October 4, 2017—The Department of Justice issued a memo reversing an Obama-era policy that had the DOJ interpret the scope of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to extend to “gender identity.”
