Supreme Court to Consider Case on Tennessee's Ban on Gender-Affirming Care | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Reaction is pouring in after the Supreme Court announced it would consider a case regarding Tennessee's ban on so-called gender affirming care. The State Attorney General said in part, "We fought hard to defend Tennessee's law protecting kids from irreversible gender treatments and secured a thoughtful and well-reasoned opinion from the Sixth Circuit. I look forward to finishing the fight in the United States Supreme Court." The Kate O'Beirne Senior Fellow and Cofounder-Director of the Person and Identity Project at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Mary Rice Hasson, joins to share her reaction to the news that the Supreme Court will consider the Biden Administration's attempt to overturn Tennessee's ban on so-called gender affirming care for minors and what the White House means by saying it is challenging the law on equal protection grounds. Tennessee is one of 22 states that have some form of a ban on providing puberty blockers and transgender surgeries for minors. Rice Hasson discusses how far reaching this case could be. She explains what the reaction has been so far to the news and whether any faith leaders or lawmakers have spoken out. She fills us in on what other stories she is following. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
