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.
exactly its that you think reddit is serious business. of course you have been on reddit for a decade the place where serious debates happen. no wonder this is how you argue. like i told you before this is not something to brag about. i find this very funny.
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?
dude you said you have been on reddit for a decade to brag about how long you did without being called a bigot. and you seriously used reddit to show how well you use the internet and to how many people you talked that disagree with you. when reddit is the biggest circle jerk on the internet where people think they have serious debates and this is exactly what you said.
