Hours before a ban on gender-affirming care was set to take effect in Kentucky, a federal judge stepped in and placed a temporary injunction on the bill
The stay on the bill is partial, a ban on gender-affirming surgical procedures for individuals under the age of 18 will be allowed to proceed, but provisions against minors being able to access puberty blockers, and hormone therapy via prescription have been temporarily blocked. Other, which have not been placed under injunction, include a ban against school districts compelling staff or students from using an individual’s preferred pronouns.
“The Court finds that Plaintiffs have shown a strong likelihood of success on the merits of their constitutional challenges to SB 150 and otherwise meet the requirements for preliminary injunctive relief,” Hale wroteThe judge added that “the Court finds that the treatments barred by SB 150 are medically appropriate and necessary for somechildren under the evidence-based standard of care accepted by all major medical organizations in the United States.
Hale added that Kentucky, in its response to the lawsuit, “fails to show that the ban imposed by SB 150” helps meet its stated goals of “‘protecting vulnerable groups… from abuse, neglect, and mistakes’; and ‘protecting the integrity and ethics of the medical profession.’”
