The ACLU is suing to block new Missouri restrictions on both adults and children seeking gender-affirming health care.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. --
The rule is "a baseless and discriminatory attempt to limit the healthcare options for transgender individuals, who already face several barriers accessing necessary and life-saving medical care,” said Dr. Samuel Tochtrop of plaintiff Southampton Community Healthcare, in a statement. “Our regulation enacts basic safeguards for interventions that an international medical consensus has determined to be experimental," Bailey said in a Monday statement. "Rather than ensure that patients are protected by common sense safeguards, these organizations are racing to court in an effort to continue their ideologically-based procedures masquerading as medicine.”
The rule is an unusual step by Missouri's attorney general, who has limited jurisdiction under state law. The office is responsible for defending state laws, handling felony criminal appeals, and prosecuting financial crimes and consumer fraud.
