Federal Court Blocks Arkansas Law Banning ‘Gender-Affirming’ Care for Minors

On Thursday, a federal appeals court ruled that Arkansas cannot enforce a ban on “transgender” children receiving “gender-affirming” care. “Gender-affirming” care encompasses hormone therapy, puberty blockers and sex reassignment surgery.

The 8th U.S. The Circuit Court of Appeals sided with a judge’s ruling temporarily blocking the state from enforcing the law, which prohibits doctors in the state from providing this type of care to anyone under 18 years old or referring them to other providers to receive treatment.

The ACLU challenged the 2021 law on behalf of four families of transgender children and two doctors who provide “gender affirming” treatments.

‘Gender Affirming Surgery’ sounds so much nicer than child sexual mutilation. I wonder what emanation of penumbras the Court based its decision on?

[eyeamok]

Then indict the judges for child abuse and grooming.

We saved ourselves by voting in Trump in 2016 and 2020.

Can you IMAGINE the assembly-line rulings that would be coming out of the Feral Courts if Hillary! had been installed in 2016?

[fwdude]

Can Arkansas request and En banc panel rehearing of this Court?

[Lizavetta]

Gender affirming is castration and mutilation. I cannot believe what is not only happening but being pushed.

[444Flyer]

Child abuse.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

Where did I hear that again?

Not money, as it is often misquoted, but the LOVE of money.

As long as money is king, we’re going to have a hard time dealing with this. We need to fight this, but how?

I once heard a guy give his thoughts at a conservative Meetup, who said he was a doctor and he had had to give in to the predominant “ethic” in order to keep his job.

The only thing left is pedophilia and sex with animals being normalized. And trust me, its coming soon.

[Husker24]

Trump was just a speed bump in this countries collapse.

Can Arkansas request and En banc panel rehearing of this Court?

Should be able to. That will be interesting to watch - thanks for making me think of it.

If there's no appeal for en banc, that might tell you if the fix is in.

You won't hear rumors of an en banc appeal from the scum at the ACLU.

[firebrand]

Reducing the population is fine but only by ethical means.

Possibly by finding much more rewarding contributions to society than having a big family. Alle menschen werden bruder, or something like that.

[kiryandil]

Trump was just a speed bump in this countries collapse.

True.

It's entertaining watching the Leftys having to slow down for the speed bumps, though.

Think how angry it makes them.

[Jim Noble]

Multiple medical groups, including the American Medical Association, oppose the ban and have said the care is safe if properly administered

Except it being "properly administered" is not the issue, the issue is, is it ever proper for it to be done?

If the Zyklon B is the right dose and it is poured into the gas chamber through the correct gas entry port, that is irrelevant to the propriety of the act.

The Arkansas law deals with the propriety of the act, not the methodology - and it is EXACTLY a Tenth Amendment reserved power of Arkansas to legislate about.

[kiryandil]

see post #17 for the skinny on the 3 stooge panel.

[packagingguy]

This SHOULD be something Republican candidates can successfully run against. Make their Democratic opponents defend giving minors castrations and hysterectomies. Promise to impeach the judge.

That should be successful if our society hasn’t become so depraved it cannot be saved.

We did vote Trump in 2020.However the Republican Party joined
forces with the Democrat Party. They executed a Coup and kicked President out of Office and replaced him with Lying Joe Biden. The biggest liar and crook in the history of Mankind. Not only that, they rubbed in our faces. They rubbed our noses in it. Other than sit around and stand around with our fingers up our asses for the most part, we did nothing. A few questioned the legitimacy of the vote. They are cooling their heels in the Washington, D.C. jail. To add insult to injury the Gestapo, A/K/A, Federal Bureau of Investigation allowed the Local Law Enforcement Agencies aid in their apprehension as they sent their Heavily armed Goons to their hometowns to apprehend them. If you don't believe this, read the news items relating to the arrests. The last sentence or the next to last sentence reads: “Local Law Enforcement Agencies assisted in their or the apprensionof the subject[s]. And Law Enforcement is worshiped on Free Republic over Almighty God.

I'm a Coup denier and a Farce Enlawment denier.

I deny their lying clownshow every chance I get.

[sockmonkey]

Don't be such a hater. Look at this family friendly Pride event in NC. /S

[ducttape45]

Spot on! This country is so begging for judgment, and it’s gonna get it.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Satan has taken over the country I grew up in.

Only a Satanic nation abuses children like this.
