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.

You’ve got that right.

Biden is pure evil.

I’m guessing that the government wants to force the Catholic hospitals to hire such doctors who can perform such surgeries.

Biden IS the Anti-Christ. Time for faithful Catholics to petition to get him ousted out of the Catholic Church.

Even if it doesn’t succeed, at least millions of faithful Catholics will have exposed him for what he is, a fraud, a liar, and enemy of America.

God will have the last laugh.

But they, apparently, don’t believe it.

It’s quite stunning to watch it in real time.

Say it ain’t so, Joe.

Is it shoeless Joe Biden, or just brainless?

They are following the Father of lies and therefore are just like him.

And just as lost as he is. Though I take no pleasure in the fact, but they will suffer the same fate as the father of lies. 🔥👍

Obamacare mandate forcing doctors and nurses to perform experimental transgender surgeries that violate Roman Catholic convictions.

Agreed to your comment. Who in their right mind would want someone who had never done the surgery to operate on their genitals? And how would you force my Catholic GP to perform surgery? He's a great GP, but I don't want him holding a scalpel anywhere near my genitals.

And, what is their legal shield against things going horribly wrong during that surgery? "Oops. I just irreversibly severed the nerve that provides sensation to your genitals. You will look male (or female), but you will never have sexual sensation again."

These people are literally out of their minds.

Any doctor, Catholic or not, can cite that both Jao Bai-Din and his Assistant Secretary for Health, Richardless Levine, have clearly set the acceptable standards for such surgery as cutting off their own penis since that’s what Richardless Levine actually did.

"Biden" == the Democrat collective.

Even before he went senile he was a party line empty suit. If he appeared to be what is now called "conservative" a long time ago, that was within the Democrat party line of the time.

With all that can go wrong in surgery under the best conditions, who in zir right mind would want a reluctant surgeon to revise one’s private parts?

......”It’s quite stunning to watch it in real time”.....

Yes,...they are positioning the world to accept the great deception as they’re doing a pretty good job of it so far.

In short, you can’t practice medicine under Christian principles.

Goes without saying It's remarkable to watch for those who know the scriptures. Equally as much those who are so easily deceived.

And they're going to deceive themselves, via the lies they tell themselves and the lies they tell to others.

Hope they enjoy their coming false messiah and the false prophet.

To be a deceiver is to know the truth and chose to tell the opposite, often even that is deceptive....We see a lot of deception in this country, and actually on the world stage as well.....But then it is written.....Satan deceives ‘THE NATIONS’....
