BREAKING IN : Alabama Seeks to Become First State Banning Gender-Affirming Treatments for Children .
The state of Alabama has called on a federal court to uphold a ban on so-called gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender youths, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling that allowed state governments to prohibit abortions.
In a 76-page brief filed with the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall insisted that a previous injunction on the state’s ban of transgender treatments should be overturned.
In the brief, Marshall goes on to insist that the Constitution reserves to the state, and not courts or medical interest groups, the authority to determine that “
sterilizing interventions” are too dangerous for minors, adding that the State has a right to regulate or prohibit such interventions for children “
even if an adult wants the drugs for his child.”News Scroll Verified
