Gender Reassigning Treatment Ban Blocked By Court: Politicos’ Got Something To Say

Gender Reassigning Treatment

Political figures of Arkansas are not happy.

The State of Arkansas had earlier declared a ban on medical care to be received by children undergoing gender reassignment. 

A Federal Court of Appeals had earlier declared that the ban on children enjoying medical support in case of gender reassignment processes is to be blocked. 

The 8th Circuit Appeals Court of the State was led by a panel constituting of three judges who arrived at the decision to block the Arkansas Act 626. 

Arkansas SAFE Act passed in 2021 mandated that no medical professional was to provide support or refer individuals under the age of 18 years for gender reassigning and transition procedures. 

Sometime in October, a trial date has been all set to declare if the block on the state-imposed ban on post-gender transition medical care for children was to be permanent. There is, however, a slight possibility of the block being permanent on the grounds of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution

The State Attorney general and a few politicians are to file for an appeal on the ruling delivered.

Senator Tom Cotton has claimed that the ban was imposed to keep the children protected from experimental drugs and procedures. He states that the fate of the children being affected by this ruling has been left to liberal activists. 

After the Act was passed in 2021, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit that successfully brought about the block to the Act.
