17 GOP-led states defend ban on ‘experimental’ transgender treatments for children
Fox News
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall issued an amicus brief Wednesday with 16 other GOP-led states in support of the recent Arkansas ban on transition-related care for transgender minors.
"We are filing this brief because, like Arkansas, we are concerned about the surge in recent years of children suffering from gender dysphoria and other forms of gender-related psychological distress," Marshall said in a statement Tuesday. "Like Arkansas — and like those challenging the SAFE Act — we are concerned because these vulnerable children are suffering greatly and need help. The vital questions are, how do we help them, and how do we avoid serious irreversible damage." The brief follows a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in May, challenging a state’s ability to deny minors "gender-affirming" treatment.More Related News
