Court: Catholic hospitals can't be forced to perform "gender transition" surgeries

On Friday, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling by a federal judge in North Dakota who said that the federal government can not force a group of Catholic doctors and hospitals to perform “gender transition” surgeries. While the government will likely take this to the Supreme Court at some point, this case may offer a tentative first step toward curbing the transgender madness currently engulfing the nation’s healthcare system. The basis for the ruling is a bit odd, at least as I see it, but you take your victories where you can get them. This ruling also renews a standing debate over certain provisions in Obamacare that have been wildly twisted in recent years to redefine “sex” and “gender” to suit progressive activists. (Reuters)

Quote
The Biden administration cannot force a group of Catholic healthcare providers and professionals to perform gender transition surgeries under an Obama-era regulation barring sex discrimination in healthcare, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday.

A unanimous three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a North Dakota federal judge who said the U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) rule infringes on the religious freedoms of the plaintiffs, including a group of nuns who run health clinics for the poor and an association of Catholic healthcare professionals.

The New Orleans-based 5th Circuit came to the same conclusion in August in a case brought by Christian medical groups.

A much wider context is in play here. Activists, the ACLU, some states' gooberments, and now the LIEden MalAdministration have been trying for at least a decade or two to force Catholic hospitals, hospital groups (e.g. Dignity Health), and religious health practitioners (including students!) to perform surgeries and prescribe meds contrary to their religious beliefs. The activists, et al, keep losing, and keep coming back. If, as this article suggests is likely, the LIEden MalAdministration does take this to the USSC, it could have the very unintended effect of making these heretofore local defeats national, and even precluding state laws from forcing hospitals, et al, to violate religious beliefs.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The liberals really should think this one over. Do you really want a surgeon to perform major surgery on you when in his or her heart they're not really committed to it? When I had my heart surgery last January I wanted my surgeon to be gungho, arrogant, and have a god complex.

Progs' and Libs' primary purpose is forcing on doctors, nurses, and hospitals a choice between violating their religious beliefs or getting out//shutting down. The mutilation surgeries, tubal ligations, and abortion or "transition" drugs are secondary at most.
