A federal judge has issued an order halting the implementation of an Indiana law that would ban puberty blockers and hormones for transgender minors, which was set to take effect on July 1. The law, backed by Republicans, has faced legal challenges from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Indiana. While the judge’s order allows the ban on gender-affirming surgeries to go into effect, it blocks provisions that would prohibit Indiana doctors from discussing gender-affirming care with out-of-state doctors for patients under 18. The ACLU argues that the law violates equal protection guarantees and infringes upon parental rights to make medical decisions for their children. The ruling is seen as a victory by the ACLU, but the fight against the law is not over. Several other states have passed similar laws, and lawsuits have been filed challenging these bans.
