The Democrats are revealing their mental illness once again, this time in New Jersey where a hospital system is now asking parents if their newborn babies are transgender at birth.

The question is being asked by Inspira Health in a document entitled “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Questionnaire,” which features several outrageous sections, the New York Post reported.

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.”

So, now the democrats have moved from a child has a "right" to choose their own gender, to a parent can choose for a child.

What happened to the left's claim that all this was a personal choice? Now they are even taking that choice away from the very people they clam to be supporting.

New Jersey Republican State Sen. Holly Schepisi said the form has "no medical value" and "makes no sense."

The Sen. posted about this lunacy to her social media, writing:

Yesterday it came to my attention that medical providers, laboratories and hospitals are being forced to provide the questionnaire below to NEWBORN patients. While completely and utterly insane, these facilities are doing so to comply with another nonsensical law A-4385 passed by the democratically controlled legislature in 2022. This law mandates collection of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity data with no age threshold – hence newborn babies receiving the survey. I will be sponsoring legislation immediately to rescind this absurd requirement which is a waste of medical professional’s time and resources.

PS – for anyone screaming “fake form” my legislative office directly confirmed it is indeed real with the health network this morning. They had to seek a waiver from the State to discontinue using this form as they were receiving such negative feedback from their patients. You may not want to believe it’s real but it is, and on the upside at least you deep down now understand how absurd things have become in NJ.

For its part, the hospital is pointing out that they are just pushing this nonsense because New Jersey state Democrats require them to do so.
