Georgia Parents Sue To Block State Law Which Limits Access To Gender Affirming Care For Minors
A lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court by a group of parents from Georgia is seeking to block a new state law that heavily restricts access to gender-affirming for minors, a move that comes less than two days before the law is set to take effect, as legal efforts have managed to successfully halt similar laws in other states targeting medical procedures for transgender children.Copyright 2019 The Associated Press.

The law is set to go into effect on Saturday, and the suit argues if it is not blocked before that, the plaintiffs will face “immediate and irreparable harms” and parents will not be able to access “necessary and time-sensitive medical care” for their transgender children.
