Nuns Caring for Cancer Patients Challenge NY LGBT Law Forcing Them to Violate Faith

A community of nuns who care for cancer patients is challenging a New York law that they say forces them to violate their religious convictions regarding gender identity accommodations in their healthcare facilities. The sisters argue the law compels speech and conduct that contradicts Catholic teaching on human sexuality. The case represents a growing collision between state anti-discrimination mandates and the conscience rights of faith-based healthcare providers.
