A Missouri judge found that a state ban on transgender surgeries and hormone treatments for minors was constitutional Monday, just over a week before the US Supreme Court takes up a very similar case out of Tennessee.

Judge Robert Craig Carter highlighted the murky ethics behind the controversial treatments for gender dysphoria in his ruling on challenges from LGBTQ civil rights activists against the Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act, which was signed into law last year.

“The evidence from trial showed that the medical ethics of gender dysphoria treatment for children and adolescents are entirely unsettled,” Carter, who sits on the 44th Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri, wrote in a lengthy 72-page ruling.

“Any person — including a minor — would be able to obtain anything from meth, to ecstasy to abortion so long as a single medical professional were willing to recommend it,” he later cautioned.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey quickly cheered the court’s ruling.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) signed the law last year, and it went into effect in August 2023. It also enacted a three-year ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors unless they were in the middle of such treatment.

The measure slapped penalties on physicians who flout the law, including possible revocation of their medical license and the ability for patients to sue for at least 15 years with a minimum of $500,000 in damages for a successful suit.

Carter also pointed to a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that concluded options for state legislatures must “be epically broad” in instances that are “fraught with medical and scientific uncertainties.”

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) quickly took a victory lap over the ruling.

“The Court has left Missouri’s law banning child mutilation in place, a resounding victory for our children...

No doubt Democrat Reprobate Barack Hussein Obama haz a sad now...same for Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, too.

Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is an EXCELLENT false prophet for that Old Serpent, called the Devil and Satan.

And the world just continues to fulfill Bible Prophecy - as expected

All according to Satan's plan.

June 26, 2015 was the Rainbow White House



The Days of Lot are upon the world - just as prophesied

And Sudden Destruction is prophesied for the Days of Lot

Even thus shall it be
in the Day when the
Son of Man is revealed...

What is really sad is that this is an issue. None of this transgender BS should be even considered prior to age 18.

[None of this transgender should be even considered prior to age 18.]

At any age...

[KC_Conspirator]

Cant smoke, drink, get a tattoo, or even use a tanning bed before 18. But sure, 11 year olds can consent to puberty blockers says the dem.

“None of this transgender BS should be even considered prior to age 18.”

I think the taxpayers ultimately pay for all of it regardless of age.

Well said.

Nice to see some common sense sanity.

The poor judge will probably be doxxed, and get death threats.

[Kudsman]

I think the judge sleeps well.

Ironically, I don't trust our Supreme Court on this issue. None other than Roberts and Gorsuch sided with the Trannies in Bostock, giving them a massive, powerful bludgeon to use against normals. Unless that decision is reversed, it's all inexorably going to go to the deviants.
