Biden Tries to Resurrect Obamacare Transgender Mandate

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.

The Department of Health and Human Services appealed that decision, seeking to enforce the transgender mandate on Catholic health care providers.

The court's injunction prevents the Biden administration from using the HHS and the EEOC to enforce the Obamacare transgender mandate, forcing doctors to provide cross-sex hormones and sex-reassignment surgery.

While the Supreme Court in Bostock v. Clayton County wrongly decided that Title VII's prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sex applies to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, the North Dakota court rightly decided that forcing Catholic doctors and nurses to perform transgender surgery violates their religious freedom.

The court ruled that HHS and EEOC would likely apply the Obamacare transgender mandate against the Catholic health providers - and that is especially true given Joe Biden's outspoken support for transgender activism.

The court did not oppose this interpretation of the rule, but it did explicitly prohibit the government from applying the mandate to the Catholic health providers.

The expansion of transgender ideology into medicine is not just dangerous for Roman Catholics and other Christians.
