Judges: No mandate for transgender care

A federal appeals court on Aug. 26 said doctors and hospitals do not have to perform gender-transition medical procedures and abortions that violate their conscience or medical judgment.

A religious hospital and a group of over 20,000 health care professionals sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in August 2016 after the federal government mandated that most health care providers must perform and provide insurance coverage for such procedures.

A three-judge panel affirmed the decision of the district court that granted Franciscan Alliance a permanent injunction, barring HHS from forcing it to provide gender-reassignment surgeries or abortions against its religious beliefs.
