    The Trump administration has just issued @CDCgov with a list of seven forbidden words for preparing its 2019 budget: vulnerable, entitlement, diversity, transgender, fetus, evidence-based and science-based. Kid you not.https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/cdc-gets-list-of-forbidden-words-fetus-transgender-diversity/2017/12/15/f503837a-e1cf-11e7-89e8-edec16379010_story.html?utm_term=.10029a532e8d …

        list of forbidden words should be on every constituent email/letter/mentioned in a phone call to Congress. On every regulatory comment. On banners and flags. This is in-your-face fascism.

        CDC needs to do evidenced-based, science-based studies of damage Trump does to transgender and other vulnerable people, including fetuses, by attacking diversity and entitlements... @realDonaldTrump is a MACROPARASITE causing widespread disease in the US and the world.

        This can't be allowed. I use the CDC website all the time for information related to my job as a pediatric RN.

        It looks to me like this language is banned from budget proposals only right now. The CDC is smart enough to get around it.

        The medical profession cannot stand for this clear overstep by our administration. We cannot allow politics to derail our mission to provide quality and evidence based care to ALL of our patients. #CDCForbiddenWords

        Look at what they want "evidence based" replaced with. It's clear the agenda is to undermine the existence of objective facts.

        Also, why is an ostensibly pro-life government against the health of the fetus? Of course, #science is showing more and more that healthy fetal development sets one up for a healthy life after birth.

        Can’t even say “evidence-based.” This is crazy.
