Another judge has affirmed, correctly, that the federal government may not require doctors to provide sex-change procedures and abortions against the dictates of their consciences and their best medical judgments.
It’s long past time for the Biden administration and its leftist allies to abandon despotic attempts, under the false flag of “social justice,” to trample individual conscience rights. Ethically and morally, surgery that is effectively forced at the point of a government gun borders on what Winston Churchill called “perverted science;” the conscription of doctors and people of faith for acts against their deep beliefs violates Thomas Jefferson’s righteous vow of “eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
Judge Reed rightfully noted that the Biden rule ignored both a religious exemption seemingly built into Obamacare law itself and, more explicitly, the tenets of the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act. RFRA was passed unanimously by the House, and by the Senate 97-3, with Biden himself in favor of the law he now wishes to ignore. The Biden rule, Reed decided, “substantially burdens Christian Plaintiff’s religious exercise” with “quintessential irreparable injury” to their RFRA- and First Amendment-guaranteed freedom of religion.
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which served as legal counsel for the plaintiffs, explained that the Biden rule could force doctors to violate not just their religious beliefs but also their medical assessments and thus their Hippocratic Oaths.
“Research shows,” says Becket’s case summary, “that not only are there significant risks with gender reassignment therapy — especially in childhood — such as heart conditions, increased cancer risk, and loss of bone density, but most children with gender dysphoria grow out of it naturally without these invasive procedures.”
Furthermore, “the government’s own panel of medical experts concluded that these procedures can be harmful and advised against requiring coverage of these medical and surgical procedures under Medicare and Medicaid.”
I don't understand the issue here. Physicians choose their specialties. A doc who is against sex change surgery would not go into that specialty to begin with.
Example. You wouldn't force a cardiac surgeon to do a hip replacement. Makes no sense.
It is one thing to force a Christian Bakery to make you a cake for your gay wedding but would you really want a surgeon that is being forced by the Government to operate on your most cherished of bits?
