A federal judge ruled on Monday that Christian employers and healthcare providers do not have to pay for transgender surgeries.
The Christian Employers Alliance sued the Biden administration over its interpretation of federal discrimination law, which the White House argued would mandate that every employer cover the cost of transgender medical procedures. But North Dakota Judge Daniel Traynor ruled against this interpretation, saying that it would infringe on a Christian’s sincerely held religious beliefs.
Alliance Defending Freedom represented the group and celebrated the ruling, saying. “The court was on firm ground to stop the administration from enforcing these unlawful mandates that disrespect people of faith.”
