On Friday, Just the News<\/a> posted an article about a lawsuit filed by a group of Catholic nuns against the State of New York.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Justice Department is indicating it will intervene in a lawsuit filed in New York by Catholic nuns after the state forced them to house biological men with women.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne allege that the New York law requiring the housing of biological men with women violates the U.S. Constitution\u2019s equal protection clause, and the DOJ agrees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cStates should take notice that they cannot require Americans to abandon their religious beliefs in the name of woke gender ideology,\u201d Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said in a statement Thursday announcing<\/a> the DOJ\u2019s involvement.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than a century, the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne have provided free palliative care to indigent cancer patients in their last days. New York\u2019s law would force these religious women to choose between their faith and their license if they wish to continue serving the dying.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DOJ\u2019s complaint alleges that New York Public Health Law \u00a7 2803-c-2 violates the 14th Amendment\u2019s Equal Protection Clause by forcing religious facilities to violate their beliefs. The New York law requires long-term care facilities to provide rooms to transgender residents based on their \u201cgender identity\u201d rather than their biological sex, and forces facility staff to use preferred pronouns and names.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The First Amendment does not provide ‘freedom from’ religion–it provides the freedom to practice your religion. The requirements that the State of New York is placing on these nuns are in violation of the nuns’ religious belief that biological sex is God-given and cannot be changed, and doing so is a form of lying. This should be an easy victory for the nuns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
