A judge ordered Planned Parenthood to hand records of transgender care over to Andrew Bailey.
A St. Louis judge has ruled that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is entitled to Planned Parenthood’s transgender care records, ordering the nonprofit to turn over some of its most sensitive files to the man who has built his unelected political career on restricting health care access for trans people.
In his Thursday decision, Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer wrote that Bailey can collect documents under Missouri’s consumer protection statute that aren’t protected under federal mandate, namely the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, better known as HIPAA.
“It is clear from the statute that the Defendant has the broad investigative powers when the consumer is in possible need of protection and there is no dispute in this matter,” wrote Stelzer. “Therefore, the Defendant is entitled to some of the requested documents within his [Civil Investigative Demand].”
Bailey, who last year attempted to implement a ban on gender-affirming care for people of all ages, was quick to celebrate the decision, calling it a “big day” for the state.
ah yes i need proof and you can just say some shit. you are doing the exact same shit im doing no difference at all. i will just keep doing what i was doing just like you. i will just ignore your debate tactics. yes Depression is about feelings and they will not be able to get appearance altering surgeries in that state. the depression thing is not helping your argument.
Actually, depressed people aren’t barred from getting a rhinoplasty, or a boob job, or lip filler, so I’m not sure what the point you’re making is. You haven’t provided any evidence. I also haven’t, yet. If I did, would you care, or would you blow it off? Things you’ve said to me so far suggest that any research I provide will be called woke and captured and lies, so I haven’t bothered. If there’s a point, I’m happy to. You’ve just explicitly said things that make me doubt there is.
