A federal appeals court has ruled that Indiana's law banning gender-affirming care for minors will remain in effect.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court's injunction that had temporarily blocked the law. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Indiana had challenged the law, arguing it violated the rights of transgender youth. The court's decision allows the state to enforce the ban, though minors can still access talk therapy as an alternative treatment.
This ruling is part of a broader national debate over transgender rights and healthcare access for minors.

The government should stay out of personal medical decisions, especially when it comes to individual rights and parental consent.
It's good to see the courts standing up for the protection of children and keeping these life-altering decisions off the table until they’re old enough to fully understand the consequences.
I'm glad to see the court supporting common sense protections for kids who are too young to make life-altering decisions.
