A federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed Indiana’s ban on gender-affirming care to go into effect, removing a temporary injunction a judge issued last year.
The ruling was handed down by a panel of justices on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. It marked the latest decision in a legal challenge the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed against the ban, enacted last spring amid a national push by GOP-led legislatures to curb LGBTQ+ rights.
The law on the ban for youth care was challenged in court, the courts decided the law is not against the constitution, and so it can take effect.
Laws aren’t real
A court made that decision.
Not sure how that’s a gotcha, sure, a court, has the same weight either way
And another court could overturn it. Because courts aren’t bound by the text of the laws.
