Supreme Court allows Idaho to enforce ban on gender-affirming care for minors
ABC News, Apr 15, 2024
A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Idaho to proceed with enforcement of a new law aimed at prohibiting gender-affirming care for minors.
The decision overrides two lower federal courts that had upheld an injunction against the law as litigation over the merits continues.
The decision was backed by all six of the high court's conservative members; the three liberal justices would have kept the law on hold.
The court did, however, allow the parents and two children who brought the case against the law to continue to obtain treatments during litigation. The children, who are not named in the suit, are said to be seeking puberty blockers and estrogen, which the families and their doctors say are critical for mental health.

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has ruled that Idaho can enforce a ban on sex changes for kids. Healthcare professionals can face up to up to 10 years in prison for providing puberty blockers, hormones, and mastectomies that are "inconsistent with the child's biological sex."
Boom!

Hopefully it will keep some of the trash from moving here.

At least a small step in the correct direction.
Gender "affirming" care is not health care at all - it's Dr. Mengele level evil; the same sort of evil the Nazis perpetrated on Jewish children in the camps.

Absolutely 100% correct.

Here is the written opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23a763_n7io.pdf
Gorsuch wrote one opinion, joined by Thomas and Alito. Kavanaugh wrote a second, joined by Barret.
The dissent was written by the Justice who doesn't know what a woman is, joined by Sotomayor. It was one of the weakest opinions I have ever read. Pure emotion. Zero legal basis. The opinion was so poorly written that Kagan didn't sign on to it, staying instead with her original dissent as the Justice on record in Idaho.
