For whatever reason, liberal politicians seem to be intent on going after the Little Sisters of the Poor. In Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court in 2020 upheld a federal rule protecting the Little Sisters and other religious groups from the federal government’s contraceptive mandate. But Pennsylvania and New Jersey continued to fight in court to strip the Little Sisters of that protection. Now the Little Sisters of the Poor and another group of Catholic nuns and healthcare providers are being sued by New York State over New York’s assisted suicide law.

On Sunday, Townhall reported:

Back on July 20, Townhall reported that a group of Catholic nuns and healthcare providers in New York had filed suit against the state over its assisted suicide law, one that would force those religious groups to inform patients of “end-of-life options,” including assisted suicide.

The group included the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, and the Diocese of Rockville Centre and Catholic Health, a network of Long Island hospitals. Now a court has granted them relief from the state’s assisted suicide law, at least temporarily.

The ruling prohibits the state from forcing these Catholics from participating in the assisted suicide law until their lawsuit is heard in court.

The article concludes:

Remember, these nuns take care of the sick and dying without compensation. It is part of their calling and their faith, and the state of New York wants to stop them from doing this—punishing sick and dying people in the process.

We’ll see what happens when the lawsuit has its day in court. It’s possible the courts side with the state, setting up another Supreme Court battle.

The attacks on our freedom of religion should not be taken lightly. These nuns are standing up for all Americans in the effort to preserve what our Founding Fathers created and Americans in multiple generations have died for.
