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.
debate your existence is that what you think we are doing. you think very highly of yourself. i was talking about very specific shit like giving hormones and surgeries to kids not adults. i even said if you are an adult i don’t give a fuck what you do as long as you don’t make it my problem. kids is making it everybody’s problem. if you want to make that into i hate trans people that is your problem not mine. making everybody you disagree with into demons is not going to ever help you. respect is earned not given. being trans is not a shield from criticism.
Like I said, I can read. Gaslighting doesn’t work when there’s receipts. Fuck yourself.
yes you can read what you want to hear and that’s not my problem.are we not nice who would not want to join you. lets hope you never complain about mean words on the internet.
