WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — A group of about 2,500 Catholic doctors and health care providers sued the Biden administration on Friday for attempting to force emergency room physicians to kill innocent life through abortion in certain circumstances after the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is representing the Catholic Medical Association and challenging Biden administration’s “mandate” in question, issued by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, for violating religious freedom protections of the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause and overstepping executive authority.
The lawsuit notes that a memo issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services following the Dobbs v. Jackson decision essentially creates out of thin air a requirement to commit abortion if it is “the stabilizing treatment necessary to resolve (an emergency medical condition),” though abortion is never medically necessary or justifiable and therefore cannot be a “treatment.”
