The Seattle Children’s Hospital filed a lawsuit in Travis County District Court on Dec. 7 against the Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG), after that agency requested documents related to gender transition policies and any such care provided to Texas children.
However, hospital claims that the OAG lacks jurisdiction to demand such records from the hospital, and that Washington’s “Shield Law” protects it from requests made by states that “restrict or criminalize reproductive and gender-affirming care.”
“The Shield Law prohibits Washington-based entities such as Seattle Children’s from ‘[c]omply[ing] with subpoena, warrant, court order, or other civil or criminal legal process for records, information, facilities, or assistance related to protected health care services that are lawful in the state of Washington,'” the lawsuit stated.
I’m convinced texas is filled with a bunch of losers and perverts that are obsessed with kids genitalia.
Something is going on down there. I’m from Texas. My family is still there so I go back often. It’s so radicalized there that Arkansas feels like a blue state in comparison. North Texas in particular has lost its fucking mind.
You’re not wrong. I live in DFW and things have gotten really weird here. It has made me wary when meeting new people. I’ll often meet someone, get along with them, think they’re pretty cool, then they start going on with some crazy right-wing rhetoric out of nowhere. It’s actually pretty worrisome.
My father has lost his fucking mind after moving there.
Yep. My parents are still down there. My dad barely has a mind that isn’t “patriot” anymore.
It infuriates me that they use that word for something that is very far from patriotism. They stole and destroyed an important word.
