Biden Tries to Resurrect HHS Rule Forcing Catholic Doctors to Perform Transgender Surgery
PJ Media ^ | 04/21/2021 | Tyler O' Neill

On day before Joe Biden became president, a federal court in North Dakota defended Roman Catholic health care providers from an Obamacare mandate forcing doctors and nurses to perform experimental transgender surgeries that violate Roman Catholic convictions. Yet on Tuesday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) appealed that decision, seeking to enforce the transgender mandate on Catholic health care providers.

Luke Goodrich, vice president and senior counsel at the religious freedom law firm Becket, which represents the Catholic health care providers, noted the tragic irony of an administration headed by a Catholic president targeting the religious freedom of Catholic doctors.

“It is troubling that this administration is going after religious doctors, hospitals, and nuns. We saw it with the Little Sisters of the Poor, when the government tried to force them to provide contraceptives and abortifacients, and now this administration is trying to do the same thing with controversial gender transition procedures,” Goodrich told PJ Media.

Goodrich first announced the Biden administration’s appeal on Tuesday.

“The Biden Admin just filed an appeal seeking to force religious doctors and hospitals to perform potentially harmful gender-transition procedures against their conscience and professional medical judgment. This is bad for patients, doctors, and religious liberty,” Luke Goodrich announced on Twitter.

“The Biden Admin says it can punish doctors and hospitals for ‘sex discrimination’ unless they perform controversial gender-transition procedures,” Goodrich added. “A court struck down this [transgender mandate] in January… But the Biden Admin just appealed.”

In Religious Sisters of Mercy v. Azar (2021), the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota protected the Religious Sisters of Mercy, the Sacred Heart Mercy Health Care Center, SMP Health System, and the University of Mary from a Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate banning discrimination on the basis of sex.

Buy-Dung is a “Cafeteria Catholic” who should be under the Ban.

He Communes to judgement and condemnation...as to the Hierachs who permit his profanations.

Apparently anyone can claim to be Catholic. Abortion mongers, Dr. Moreau’s transgender progeny, Biden and Pelosi, anyone can be Catholic, even atheists.

I seriously doubt that many doctors even know how to perform an addadicktome or cutavaginaforme surgery. It takes a special sort of creep.. I’m thinking of the doctor in ‘Reanimator”

[ Only a freak would want an unwilling surgeon operating on their genitals ]

Malicious compliance....

Doctor: Some girl came in for a sex change, identified as a girl, I gave them a penis implant and nut implants!

Nurse: They were a man that wanted to become a woman...

Doctor: They said they were a woman so I assumed they were a Female to Male!

doctor: ( shrugs )

ALL of the reasons for doing this, are right in your face EVIL!

Lucifer worshiping satanists must actually be a thing in the swamp’s circles.

In some ways it is easier knowing that this nation has been given over to evil and cannot be salvaged or turned away from its judgment.

This is stuff out of Jeremiah or Isaiah. America has the hook in its nose and it is being dragged to its destruction. And that is eminently just.

All a surgeon has to say is that they are not trained in the procedure. You cannot force a surgeon to do a procedure they are unwilling to do. You have to be privileged to do procedures, just do not apply to do that procedure.

Can someone explain how any doctor is forced to perform any surgery? I would think doctors receive specfic training for different surgical procedures and if they don’t have the training they won’t or can’t perform the surgery. Thus, it would make sense that Catholic doctors just never get the training to do genetial mutulation.
