MISSOURI NOW BANS GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE FOR MINORS, BUT THAT’S NOT THE CASE IN ILLINOIS SAYS GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER. 

A NEW LAW IN MISSOURI PROHIBITS HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS FROM PERFORMING TRANSITION-RELATED SURGERIES OR PRESCRIBING HORMONES AND PUBERTY BLOCKERS TO ANYONE UNDER 18. GOVERNOR PRITZKER WAS ASKED FOR HIS THOUGHTS ON THE BAN AT AN UNRELATED PRESS CONFERENCE.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS THAT IS DESPICABLE.

BACK IN JANUARY, THE GOVERNOR SIGNED A LAW PROTECTING THE RIGHT FOR MINORS IN ILLINOIS TO SEEK GENDER AFFIRMING CARE AND THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS THAT PROVIDE TREATMENT.
