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 are bigot you have always been a bigot now you have. now this whole argument is meaningless. what are you going to do now try to explain why you where called a bigot. it not that i want you too be called a bigot its about how you seem to miss how easy it is too be called a bigot so you bragging that it never happened too you just means you have not really talked to a lot of people who you disagree with.
You’re right, all this time on Lemmy plus the over a decade on Reddit shows that I have not really talked to a lot of people who I disagree with. You’ve figured it out.
It can’t just be that I don’t say bigoted things.

I think Reddit is serious business? I was bragging about something?
Funny, I didn’t know I thought that.
Apparently you know what I think better than I do.
Is that the way I’m supposed to argue? By telling you what you think and believe?

I know you want me to have been bragging, but I still wasn’t bragging.
Also, I don’t know what you mean by “how well you used the internet.” Is there a way to use it well?

You do like to make up things I said, don’t you? I never said I was a “very serious internet user.” I’m not a very serious anything.
Anything else about me you’d like to lie about?
