The United States Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal from a Catholic hospital that was centered on the hospital declining to perform a hysterectomy on a biological woman who identifies as a man.
Justices Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett sided with the leftists on the Court.
The surgery was part of the patient’s transition from female to male, Reuters reported.
The justices turned away an appeal by Mercy San Juan Medical Center, a Sacramento-area hospital owned by Dignity Health, and let stand a lower court ruling that revived Evan Minton’s lawsuit accusing it of intentionally discriminating against him in violation of California law because he is transgender.

The Government needs to get out of Medicine. No one should be forced to take a drug, and Doctors should not be forced to “enable” Gender Dysphoria. Gender Dysphoria should be treated, not encouraged.
You just can’t trust a lawyer and this proves it .You just never can tell what they will do once they get on the so called supreme Court any thing can and will happen .Like I said never trust a lawyer .
I regard those 2 judges as another dirty trick by Mitch and his gang of RINOs. When they were nominated we were barraged with talk of how Constitutional and conservative they are. Since when is a law professor at Notre Dame a conservative?
Reminds me of “BAKE THE CAKE” but a lot worse. Universally accepted standards of medical care do NOT include surgical removal of healthy organs from healthy people! Roman Catholic physicians and hospitals are compassionate and caring, e.g. they refer women seeking abortions to other provider, without any shame. This transgender woman could have gone elsewhere for a hysterectomy.
Given SCOTUS’s dismissal of the appeal, established standards of care can be cast aside by (medically unqualified) lawyers and judges. It horrifies and saddens me that physicians can be legally compelled to perform unnecessary (and potentially harmful) irreversible surgical procedures. Physicians can be required to euthanize patients if ordered by a court… or by Maxine Watters. For now, this could only happen in California because of their particular laws. If other states follow, SCOTUS won’t stand in the way.
