The Oklahoma attorney general's office has filed a binding agreement not to enforce the state’s gender-confirming health care ban for minors following pending litigation.
Senate Bill 613 was signed by Gov. Kevin Stitt on May 1, immediately prohibiting minors from receiving gender-confirming health care in the state. The bill included a six-month grace period for individuals currently receiving care to begin weaning off their prescriptions.
A lawsuit was filed in conjunction with the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Oklahoma, Lambda Legal, Jenner & Block LLP, medical providers and families with trans minors the same day Stitt signed the bill. The families and providers allege the ban violates the rights protected under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Surprise! Another RINO. This is why we lose.
no quarter for predators
Is he related to the Drummond ranching family?
I just noticed this but in the headline, it says “bill”, it’s not a bill but the law after the Governor signed it.
The AG’s job is to enforce the laws on the books....not just the ones he agrees with.
He bought his way in. John O’Connor was a far better AG
Castration and other forms of genital mutilation are not “gender confirming.” If anything, they are “gender denying.”
Yo. You’re needed over here.
“Stay of enforcement”…
How the hell is that justified?!
ENFORCE THE FKKING LAW!!!
I can enter into an agreement with myself to cut the grass on Thursdays.
Recall, impeach, or have the governor fore his butt.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond released a statement explaining the decision to halt enforcement.
“The attorney general’s office continues to fulfill its duty to defend Senate Bill 613,” the statement reads. “A temporary stay of enforcement simply allows more time to mount the strongest possible defense.”
Now that he has revealed himself to be a frankenstein enabler find a way to get rid of him before he can help destroy one kid.
How is it that a state attorney general has any authority
to decide that a law will not be enforced?
Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond ....I know the family and Gentner is an ass. He is a Democrat in sheep clothing...Always has been.
DEFEND a ban on child abuse and mutilation? they should be IMPRISONING parents and doctors right now!
Defense against the suit the monsters have brought against the State ban. Read the article before you jump to conclusions.
No, I am quite aware of the situation, but am beside myself at how insane this nation has become - even in Oklahoma!
Yes he is a member of the welfare ranching family. I sure didn’t vote for him.
Gender confirming health care is when the doctor looks at what’s between the baby’s legs and records his/her gender on the birth certificate, NOT amputating healthy organs to accommodate a mental illness.
