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.
you should already know there are no more sides.
Fuck off with that nonsense. If you can’t see the difference between an actual theocratic fascist party (who makes no attempt to pretend otherwise) and a milquetoast neoliberal party, you’re either wilfully ignorant, misinformed, or here to spread disinformation.
It’s the ruling class and their useful idiots vs. everyone else.
Guess who’s winning…
everybody is a bigot and a fascists now you just need to disagree with what they say. its only ignorant, misinformed and disinformation when it does not align with your specific politics. that’s why you need to be careful with saying shit like that it deludes the meaning of ignorant, misinformed ignorant and disinformation fascist and bigot too because nobody will take it seriously anymore and i just don’t like the misusage of terms for your own political benefit. you delude the meanings of does words to your detriment.
You are misinformed.
best reply ever. im guessing this is how you mostly reply.
Sounds like exactly what a fascist would say. It’s a lie that only benefits fascists, after all.
yes everything you don’t like is fascists because you say so.

No one has ever seriously called me a bigot. It sounds like they have called you one. I wonder why that could be?

Sorry, it makes it worse that I haven’t been called a bigot in all that time? That’s a badge of honor or something?
Do you think it’s maybe just because I don’t say bigoted things?
its makes it worse that you know the internet exists for that long and you have no clue how it works. because calling people bigots online is not argument its a distraction and you show this tactic very well. it show your ignorant or your just keeping dumb to show how virtues you are for internet cloud both are dumb. your Humble bragging is just funny.
oh you enlightened centrist, where’d you get so smart?
