The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on Friday permanently blocked the Biden administration from forcing Christian groups to provide transgender health care or insurance coverage.
US GOVERNMENT CAN'T FORCE CHRISTIAN GROUPS TO PERFORM ABORTIONS, GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERY, COURT RULES
On January 21, 2021, U.S. District Court Judge Peter D. Welte ruled in favor of the Catholic groups, blocking the transgender rule from taking effect. Welte, a Trump appointee, also blocked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from requiring the Catholic employers to provide insurance coverage for sex-change surgeries or cross-hormone therapies.
The Biden administration may next ask the full Eighth Circuit to rehear the case or make an appeal to the Supreme Court.
