Federal appeals court bars Biden administration from forcing Catholic groups to provide transgender care

This is the second federal appeals court to block the Department of Health and Human Services from using Obamacare to mandate transgender medical care.

A federal appeals court on Friday permanently blocked the Biden administration from requiring religious doctors and hospitals to perform transgender medical services that violate their conscience, becoming the second court to do so. 

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed a lower court ruling in favor of the plaintiffs in Sisters of Mercy v. Becerra, a case concerning a coalition of Catholic groups who have challenged the Biden administration's attempt to invoke the Affordable Care Act to prohibit doctors and hospitals from discriminating against transgender patients. The Catholic groups, which include hospitals, a university and nuns who run health clinics, say the Biden administration's rule violates their free exercise of religion. 

An August ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals similarly held that the federal government cannot force Christian medical organizations to perform abortions or gender transition surgeries under the Affordable Care Act.

The Biden administration may next ask the full Eighth Circuit to rehear the case or make an appeal to the Supreme Court.

5th Circuit Court boundaries.

What's that?

If you ask me, this case doesn't only concern Freedom of Religion, but also forcing a person to work/use his skills against his will. A.K.A. slavery. I suppose defense attny's choose not to use that as a defense, because it won't win the day. I wonder why not. ???

IAC, it's good that what is right and good is winning. May it hold out.

LATE EDIT: Oops. Sorry, Red. What I meant was the 3 states the Eighth covers: Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi.

That's 'cuz there was no text 'til now. And I messed up again. TX, AL, and MI are the 3 states covered by the FIFTH Court of Appeals. It's the second pic that Hawk posted of the Mid-West states is what the Eighth covers.

Heck, we'll get this straight, yet! lol
