Court won’t reconsider block of Arkansas trans care law

Associated Press  

— A federal appeals court said Wednesday it won’t reconsider its ruling temporarily blocking Arkansas from enforcing its ban on gender-affirming care for children. “Families across Arkansas are thankful the 8th Circuit has rejected the state’s effort to enforce this baseless and cruel law,” said Holly Dickson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas, which is challenging the law on behalf of four transgender children and their families. “Arkansas should be a safe place to raise all children — transgender youth included — and denying them life-saving health care does the exact opposite.” Republican lawmakers enacted the ban last year, overriding GOP Gov. Attorney General Leslie Rutledge’s office said its request was denied for procedural reasons and that Wednesday’s ruling invites the state to appeal again once the trial over Arkansas’ ban is completed.
