Move over Sodom and Gomorrah. . .there’s a new country in town.
That this level of asshatery happened in a fairly conservative midwestern state is troubling. Are California politics metastasizing to Iowa??
it is “life-saving” because of the risk of suicide. But by that definition, it is the only treatment that, when successful, leaves it’s victims MORE likely to die than they were before.
Because the statistics appear to show that while people who identify as a different gender are much more likely to commit suicide, apparently doing the surgery, and not feeling better, leaves those people feeling so hopeless that something like 25% of them commit suicide after the surgery.
Coming soon to all 57 states..........................
Do they have to pay when they want their bits back the way they were originally ?
“Life-saving medical care”? Given the incidence of suicide among these degenerates, I’d say it’s more like life-THREATENING.
“Gender dysphoria” is a psychotic disorder, not a physical one requiring surgery.
When did judges become doctors?
this is when the legislature and governor should Sieze the homes of every justice under the Kelo Decision authority the USSC granted them, turn everyone into the Lost Liberty Hotels complete wirh bibles and copies of Atlas Shrugged
did NOONE challenge the claim that it is ‘life saving surgery’?
They are above doctors; they’re omniscient gods.
I am sure this is a real hit with the Iowa taxpayers.
Then the argument must be that if your covering elective trans-gender surgery then you must cover all elective surgery regardless of what it is.
Hi.
“The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the state’s Medicaid program must cover sex reassignment surgery for transgender people.”
Elective surgery. These mental patients will survive without a chopadictomy or an adadictomy.
Iowans have 72 hrs to remove these judges or face the consequences. The “Stupidest State” award.

We’ve lost control.
Bump!
I’d make it 36 hrs. :)
Yeah...and tell me that with our “limited resources” we won’t prioritize something like this, that is completely politically driven, over the needs of others that are more urgent.
This should provide more incentive to reform the judicial nomination process in Iowa. Currently the process provides the governor a list of permitted nominees and the governor can only choose names on the list. But the list is chosen in a way that gives leftist democrats overwhelming control over its content, regardless of whom is governor. So even the most conservative Governor is stuck proposing liberal loons as judges. There had been some talk of reforming this several years ago under ‘Governor for life’ Branstad, but then the Democrats narrowly controlled the Senate and were able to block it. Now that Branstad has passed the baton to Gov. Reynolds and the GOP has managed to win both the House and Senate needs to be a priority. I don’t recall whether a state constitutional amendment is needed to get the job adequately done; in which case the GOP will need to hang on to the executive and both legislative power levers for a couple more election cycles to get the job finished. And not have their own SOS office drop the ball, causing an additional election cycle round as they did on adding a version of the 2nd to the state constitution.
Not paying for something doesnt mean you are oppressing someone. They have no moral claim to demand other people must pay for their elective surgeries.
Well we did manage to boot three supremes a few election cycles back, but failed in booting the rest when their option came up. Ideally though judicial nomination reform needs to precede additional bookings. If not, we're assured of replacing bad apples with similar bad apples.
