NEWS ALERT: Court Blocks Biden Plan To Force Doctors To Perform Trans Surgeries
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by THEFEDERALIST.COM:
A federal court on Friday struck down Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services’ attempt to force doctors to perform mutilative transgender surgeries against their religious beliefs and conscience objections.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in the lawsuit Franciscan Alliance v. Becerra that “a Catholic healthcare network and a group of nearly 19,000 healthcare professionals cannot be required to carry out these procedures in violation of their deeply held beliefs and professional medical judgment,” according to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a nonprofit law firm that seeks to protect religious freedom.
HHS originally mandated that physicians perform wrongly named “sex-reassignment” surgeries as part of Obamacare in May 2016. “The requirement would have forced doctors to perform these procedures on any patient, including on children, even if the procedures went against their conscience and professional medical judgment,” Becket said following Friday’s ruling.
The plaintiffs are a religious hospital & group of over 20,000 healthcare professionals (@CMDANational) who gladly serve ALL patients regardless of sex or gender identity. They provide top-notch care to transgender patients for everything from cancer to the common cold.

Reminder: in America doctors and hospitals are not forced to provide procedures that they believe will harm their patients. #pluralism
