Supreme Court to take up case on trans medical treatment

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Dec. 4 regarding a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for minors and penalizing violating doctors. Notable conservatives are supporting the Biden administration’s challenge against the Tennessee law.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, R, mentioned that parents said their child would be dead without the treatment, highlighting parental concerns amid this law. Some conservatives note that the law is expanding government control with former Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock, saying, “If you decide a state can do this, then it puts all parental decisions at risk of being overruled by the government.”
