Federal court rules Indiana ban on gender-affirming care for minors can take effect
pbs.org

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.

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.
