State must pay for drugs to alter transsexual prisoners’ body type: court
lifesitenews.com ^ | 08/09/2011 | KATHLEEN GILBERT

An appeals court has upheld a lower court’s support for a group of male inmates who argued that the state’s refusal to pay for hormones to change their body type was a form of torture.

The court concluded that “plaintiffs could not be effectively treated without hormones” because mental health remedies, such as psychotherapy and antidepressants, “do nothing to treat the underlying disorder” of a perceived incorrect body type, something the court called a “medical condition.”

The ruling struck down a Wisconsin law specifying that inmates did not have the right to taxpayer-funded hormone alteration or sex reassignment surgery, although the case did not handle the constitutionality of banning the latter procedure.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) hailed the ruling against a law they called “cruel.”

The Wall Street Journal notes that the Inmate Sex Change Prevention Act was passed in 2005 after reports that taxpayers were subsidizing sex changes for inmates sparked major controversy.

As sure as night follows day, this is what's in store for the once proud U.S. military.

The ACLU already have their suits ready and the Commissars in black robes have their decisions ready - both just waiting to fill in the names and dates.

So, let me get this straight, the taxpayers are required to pay for these sordid procedures that virtually no medical insurance company would pay for. They should provide a mini-guillotine and a pair of Depends.

Yep...homosexuals are in control of our courts and legal system and Wash. DC and now the military.

They will destroy the Christian worldview of right and wrong (promiscuity, pederasty, logic and reason from Natural Law) and elevate their “lifestyle” just like in Greece and Samurai Japan and Afghanistan....and the boys are their long term targets....the beauty of young boys as objects is their utopia—pederasty—An idea that the religions of the Jews and Christians condemned and the Marxists are trying to revive—that of pederasty and slavery.

Germany and the UN are trying to get rid of pedophile laws, as I speak—that is the next thing here with the no sexual morality of homosexuals and Marxists. Just read an article about Hitler’s homosexual perversions and all his Brownshirt homosexual friends.....They used the boys in the Hitler Youth for their regular orgies.

interesting how perverted and demeaning acts can create such brutality towards human beings....but that is from the defilement of self and hatred of one’s own body design which is transferred to all human beings. Pink Swastika also reveals all the serial killers who were homosexual.....which is most of them. Odd—how they only constitute a small percentage of the population and commit the most heinous acts. Godlessness is evil.

Simply being done to change prisoners to more-accomodating body styles for "prison life".

Life-sentence prisoners should be castrated and parts removed as part of the sentence.

I believe sex offenders should be sentenced, likewise.

If not recalled, then impeached. If not impeached, then hung from the neck until dead.

Jerry Sodomite Brown needs to make the Pink Swastika the “homosexual” Bible in the grade schools since it chronicles their whole sordid history, the occult, and their use of young boys and the founding of Boy Scouts in Germany......Good old Germany—homosexuality was their “National Vice” during and prior to the Weimar Republic and became the “lifestyle” choice of the Brownshirts and Hitler.

Of course, history books after the 60’s hide this little know fact about homosexuality in the Weimar Republic which was well known in the 30’s. It was well known that all the Brownshirts were sexual perverts...... In other words, they rejected humanity as God’s design—they rejected God. People were nothing but commodities to be used and discarded for their own titillation..

Statement: "State must pay for drugs to alter transsexual prisoners’ body type: court"

Response: The American judiciary, heretofore famous for favoring the criminal element in our society, is apparently adding perverts to its favored mix.

Court ordered and TAXPAYER FUNDED insanity. Worse than simple insanity, it's pushing evil and forcing everyone to pay for it. When will it stop? I guess at this point a total economic collapse will stop it.

I think it was Shakespeare who wrote

“If the law says that, then the law is a ass”.

Still applies.

Wait a minute! Do insurance plans pay for elective surgery? Can I get a free face lift?

Are prisoners a special privileged class?

Or is taxpayer paid gender switching a sacrosanct medical right for all?

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) hailed the ruling against a law they called “cruel.”

“Too often the medical needs of transgender persons are not treated as the serious health issues that they are,” said John Knight, senior staff attorney with the ACLU’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Project.

Thanks, just pinged it out a few minutes ago. A perfect example of why it’s not “just the economy” but morality!
