File Under ‘You Gotta be Sh**ting Me’; NJ Hospitals Require Newborn ‘Sexual Orientation’

Seriously??

Sometimes when you think you have the Left figured out and they couldn’t get any more woke (and absurd)… they prove you wrong.

Case in point would be the Inspira Health Network of New Jersey. But first, I’d like to point two important bits of information before I get into the gory details;

  1. Inspira Health was just following New Jersey state law
  2. Newborns can’t even see in color, only various shades of gray

Back to the news. As reported by Chris Harris of the New York Post;

As if coming up with a great baby name wasn’t hard enough.

Newborns can’t even control their own movements, but that isn’t stopping New Jersey hospitals from asking parents for their baby’s preferred pronouns and sexual orientation.

Inspira Health’s “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Questionnaire” requires new parents to “identify” their babies as either “Male, Female, Transgender, Gender Queer,” or “Additional gender category.”

It further asks parents to select the word that best describes their infant: “Lesbian or gay, Straight or heterosexual, Self-described, Questioning/Unsure.”

The healthcare system — which operates four hospitals, two cancer centers, and eight health centers throughout South Jersey — created the form last year to comply with a newly-enacted Garden State law that required health care providers “to collect race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity in a culturally competent and sensitive manner.”

“Identifying my baby as gay on Day 1 is insane,” offered Jersey City mom-to-be Carsen Rodgers, who is due in April. “I had no idea about this form and I’m shocked.”

New Jersey State Sen. Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen) told The Post, “The entire thing lacks such common sense, and serves no purpose whatsoever.
