City Attorney Dennis Herrera said to the Department of Health and Human Services: 'It should be struck down in full.'

The Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco skyline from the Marin Headlands above Sausalito, Calif. in 2015. By Ariana Eunjung Cha Ariana Eunjung Cha National reporter Email Bio Follow May 3 at 2:41 PM The city of San Francisco has filed a lawsuit alleging that a new federal rule is unconstitutional. The rule greatly expands the types of cases in which a health-care worker or entity can decline, on religious grounds, to participate in providing a service.

If San Francisco does not comply, the complaint states, it could lose $1 billion in federal funding that support critical services. Herrera said in the filing that the result has been that the OCR “has turned this legacy on its head."

San Francisco’s leaders. How low can they go?

You had me at “sues Trump”.

San Francisco is insane. They used to take an oath to protect life. SF’s jihad to punish the sane portion of the medical field should be met with ridicule.

Lol Buckle up San Fran! Here come the illegal immigrants to ur sanctuary

Actually, San Francisco should sue SpeakerPelosi ....

The idea of religious freedom is getting way out of control, pretty soon you can expect an emergency doctor to refuse life saving care because someone is gay and that's simply messed up.

Strange that Trump administration would use conscience rules to encourage discrimination against all sorts of groups and people and yet don't use conscience as an argument in gun deaths or mistreatment of asylum seekers. Very skewed use of conscience by them if you ask me.

SF has a severe case of TDS & all they can do is RESIST, RESIST until the cows come home lets hope our POTUS can get even

San Francisco should clean up all the dirty needles and human feces littering the sidewalks.
