(Worthy News) – An appeals court has upheld a temporary block on an Arkansas law aimed at banning the usage of puberty blockers and gender surgeries for minors suffering from gender dysphoria.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit unanimously ruled Thursday to uphold a lower court decision blocking the enforcement of the state ban, siding with a group of plaintiffs that included trans-identified children and their parents.
Circuit Judge Jane Kelly, an Obama appointee, wrote in the court opinion that the plaintiffs “will suffer irreparable harm” if they are not given “a preliminary injunction.” [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]
