(Worthy News) – A federal district court in North Dakota hit the brakes on a Biden administration rule that religious employers — for-profit and non-profit — must pay for and/or perform “gender transition services,” even if such care violates the employer’s or provider’s religious beliefs.

Judge Daniel M. Traynor, an appointee of former President Trump, issued the preliminary injunction two weeks after hearing arguments in the case. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
