Federal court blocks Biden admin mandate forcing doctors, hospitals to offer transgender surgeries. It’s about time some court got a clue.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Friday ruled that the Biden administration cannot doctors and hospitals to perform gender transition surgeries against their religious convictions.
Deciding the case unanimously, the court upheld an earlier decision blocking the Department of Health and Human Services mandate requiring hospitals and doctors to offer the procedures.
The Catholic Franciscan Alliance and a group of more than 19,000 healthcare workers petitioned the lower court to block the policy as it would force them to go against their religious convictions.



Thousands of Catholics rioted in London today, burning cars and battling police while protesting what they called a “blasphemous” portrayal of Pope Benedict XVI in a Times of London cartoon.
