A judge ordered Planned Parenthood to hand records of transgender care over to Andrew Bailey.
A St. Louis judge has ruled that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is entitled to Planned Parenthood’s transgender care records, ordering the nonprofit to turn over some of its most sensitive files to the man who has built his unelected political career on restricting health care access for trans people.
In his Thursday decision, Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer wrote that Bailey can collect documents under Missouri’s consumer protection statute that aren’t protected under federal mandate, namely the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, better known as HIPAA.
“It is clear from the statute that the Defendant has the broad investigative powers when the consumer is in possible need of protection and there is no dispute in this matter,” wrote Stelzer. “Therefore, the Defendant is entitled to some of the requested documents within his [Civil Investigative Demand].”
Bailey, who last year attempted to implement a ban on gender-affirming care for people of all ages, was quick to celebrate the decision, calling it a “big day” for the state.
isn’t this like, explicitly anti HIPPA (or HIPAA since apparently medical acronyms suck)?
Shouldn’t this be like, INCREDIBLY illegal?
Not like the Christians care but it also violates the fourth
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
ah yes, a classic, the fourth, i mean the forced amendment.
The ruling specifically said items that aren’t protected under federal mandate. When I deal with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) information, just about everything you can imagine in the record is protected if it can be paired with another piece of info and narrow down a person’s identity. Scroll down to the ‘Protected Health Information’
Hopefully that means they can deny just about every document… but I have no hope when it comes to courts and prosecutors in the states.
yeah no this definitely seems illegal then. There’s no way asking for medical documents of trans people isn’t going to reveal personal information about them, unless you’re looking for fucking statistics?
Conservatives : Show me your personal medical records. I need to know if you are commiting crimes.
Also conservatives: No you can’t see my tax returns. That’s personal.
"My team will get to the bottom of how this clandestine network of clinics has subjected children to puberty blockers and irreversible surgery, often without parental consent,” he wrote in a statement.
Ffs, he makes it sound like toddlers are getting snatched off the streets to get “trans’ed”.
Give me one fucking case anywhere in this state where a minor was given surgery without parental consent. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Honestly they have sown the myths of trans healthcare so hard that people legit believe 5 year olds are receiving puberty blockers. The barest of sense is easier to hijack than people can believe. It’s why we can’t depend on a majority vote for stuff like this. The airbrains are being given butterflies to chase and then telling us we’re crazy. They probably have some fictional bogeyman-esque case someone wrote an article about or a interviewee they managed to play out of context nonsense from to cite you.
They’ve managed to convince people that 5 year olds are out here getting gender reassignment surgery, like it’s not already incredibly hard for willing adults to get it
But if they’re forced to abide by logic and reasoning how are they supposed to oppress women and minorities?
Why should it matter if the parents give consent if the minor cant consent? A parents could consent to their child getting a face tattoo, but it doesnt mean a kid can consent to that.
How else do you think transgender women have gotten so much hotter in the past decade or so?
(This is a joke btw and I hate that I have to say this)
Remember this when someone tries to claim both sides are the same!
you should already know there are no more sides.
Fuck off with that nonsense. If you can’t see the difference between an actual theocratic fascist party (who makes no attempt to pretend otherwise) and a milquetoast neoliberal party, you’re either wilfully ignorant, misinformed, or here to spread disinformation.
It’s the ruling class and their useful idiots vs. everyone else.
Guess who’s winning…
everybody is a bigot and a fascists now you just need to disagree with what they say. its only ignorant, misinformed and disinformation when it does not align with your specific politics. that’s why you need to be careful with saying shit like that it deludes the meaning of ignorant, misinformed ignorant and disinformation fascist and bigot too because nobody will take it seriously anymore and i just don’t like the misusage of terms for your own political benefit. you delude the meanings of does words to your detriment.
You are misinformed.
best reply ever. im guessing this is how you mostly reply.
Sounds like exactly what a fascist would say. It’s a lie that only benefits fascists, after all.
No one has ever seriously called me a bigot. It sounds like they have called you one. I wonder why that could be?
that just shows you have not used the internet very well and that your being disingenuous because people can say what ever fuck they want as you are showing right now. if you want to take everything seriously people call you that’s your problem not mine.
I’ve been using the internet since 1989. How about you?
this only makes it worse. do you think just because you know the internet existed sins 1989 that it can not be that you have been doing it wrong. this is not an argument in your favor. your previous disingenuous reply was very funny i never take tactics like that very seriously.
oh you enlightened centrist, where’d you get so smart?
hey at least im not known for purging people for there political beliefs. also no need for calling people the worst thing they can be for political wins. and i can just have more fun. no need to sniff my own farts.
i’s just pokin a lil fun, mind
I think he should have to show his internet history.
Work towards peace, prepare for the inevitable.
What the hell? Seriously, living your life is too much to ask?
I think it’s only for minors, which is even weirder.

Man fuck Republicans
There is no such thing as a good conservative alive today. Conservatives bring only oppression and death. They are the enemy of humanity.
Always has been …
They are (and have always been) regressives but yeah.
Eh. I’m glad we have conservatives because I see how crazy liberals can be when they get there way with no pushback.
I think if liberals tried less to control people’s thoughts, they would be more palatable to independents.
Is the mind-control “liberal” in the room with us right now?
Probably.
Just check the modlogs :P
Probably just so he can wank to the pictures.
Damn this is scary stuff.
Don’t trust any man in a suit especially if he looks like he wears one every day.
Little shit never leaves his enclave either.
He knows what will happen if he ever shows his face in KC or St. Louis.
