Matt Hadro reports for the Catholic News Agency:

The Catholic Medical Association has joined a lawsuit against a Biden administration rule that it says tramples the conscience rights of doctors opposed to gender-transitioning procedures.

In May, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a notice effectively reinstating the “transgender mandate,” requiring doctors to perform gender-transitioning procedures upon the referral of a mental health professional. The requirement does not include exemptions for doctors opposed to the procedures for medical or conscience reasons.
