DOJ Supports Nuns Who Refuse to Provide Transgender Care Due to Religious Beliefs
The Justice Department is backing a group of Catholic nuns who say New York's transgender policies could force them to choose between their religious beliefs and continuing to care for indigent cancer patients. The mandate would require healthcare providers to use individuals' preferred names and pronouns on medical records.
The US Department of Justice has backed a group of Catholic nuns who oppose New York's transgender policies, which they claim could force them to abandon their religious beliefs and continue caring for cancer patients in need. The mandate requires healthcare providers to use the patient's preferred name and gender identity on medical records. The nuns argue that this would require them to compromise their faith. The Justice Department has indicated it will take action if the policies are enforced.
