One of the scariest things about the secular left is the comfort and confidence they have about ramming their views down the throats of people who disagree with them. It’s not that they can beat you in an argument about which worldview is true. They can’t. Their only way to get what they want is by using force. And they don’t hesitate to do that.
Here’s the story from Daily Caller:
A district court ruled Monday that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) violated the First Amendment by attempting to force religious health care workers to provide gender transition procedures.
In 2021, the Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) filed a lawsuit against the EEOC over two mandates requiring religious employers to provide health insurance that covered gender transitions as well as forcing religious physicians to perform sex-change procedures or face charges of discrimination based on gender identity. The District Court of North Dakota ruled in favor of the CEA, arguing that the rules would violate an employer’s or doctor’s religious beliefs.
Who are the big heroes who argued the case? Alliance Defending Freedom, of course:
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which represented CEA, argued that not only did the mandates require employers and doctors to cover and perform sex-change procedures, but it also demanded that they speak positively of them even if they objected, according to the press release.
[…]“By misinterpreting and improperly enforcing federal law, President Biden has far overreached his constitutional authority, to the detriment of people of faith across the country,” Matt Bowman, senior counsel for ADF, said in the press release. “The government cannot force Christian employers to pay for, or physically perform, harmful medical procedures that contradict their religious beliefs. The Constitution protects religious healthcare providers and employers and allows them to go about their work in a manner compatible with their deeply held convictions and faith.”
The EEOC did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Alliance Defending Freedom is a great conservative organization that defends religious liberty and conscience protections. They regularly win cases at the Supreme Court. If you don’t know about the ADF, it’s a great organization to support with your charity budget.
