that the ruling, handed down by judges who were all appointed by former Republican President Donald Trump, illustrates "the appalling legal consequences" of the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of, in which the high court's right-wing majority said abortion rights are not "deeply rooted in history and tradition" in the United States.
"Essentially, because modern medicine has progressed, people do not have the right to bodily autonomy," wrote Otten. "It's also unclear how far back something has to go to be considered 'history.' Puberty blockers were first used in the 1980s, which apparently is not far back enough for gender-affirming care to be considered tradition.

"Every federal district court that has heard the evidence presented in these cases has come to the same conclusion: These medical treatments are safe, effective, and lifesaving for some youth, and there is no legitimate reason to ban them," the groups said.
