Nord-Dakota kan fortsette å håndheve loven som skal forhindre leger mot å lemleste kjønnsforvirrede barn med medisiner eller operasjoner
Dommer Jackson Lofgren i South Central District opprettholdt beskyttelsen, og avviste en forespørsel om midlertidig blokkering av en lov signert av guvernør Doug Burgum som forbyr lemlestelse av transpersoner av mindreårige.
Lifesitenews skriver:
The law in question, House Bill 1254, makes it a class B felony for any healthcare provider to perform surgery “for the purpose of changing or affirming the minor’s perception of the minor’s sex” and a misdemeanor to prescribe drugs for that purpose.
Violators could face up to 10 years in prison or $20,000 in fines.
Burgum, who signed additional laws in April prohibiting boys from competing against girls in school and college sports, as well as prohibiting men from using bathrooms for women in colleges and prisons, explained at the time that the law “is aimed at protecting children from the life-altering ramifications of gender reassignment surgeries.”
