Alabama cites SCOTUS ruling on abortion in new attempt to block gender-affirming care for trans youth | app

Alabama has asked a federal appeals court to lift an injunction blocking enforcement of a law that criminalizes gender-affirming care for transgender youth — and it’s doing so citing the court’s recent opinion Supreme Court which annulled the constitutional right to abortion.
Earlier this year, the state’s Republican Governor Kay Ivey signed into law a controversial bill that punishes parents or legal guardians for making decisions about the health care of their trans children, and also threatens to criminal prosecution and imprisonment of health care providers for offering — or even suggesting — medically necessary care to trans youth under the age of 19.
