This is beyond the pale. Missouri plans to use gender-affirming care (GAC) for minors to overturn the hard-won right of abortion for women in Missouri. Citizens approved a constitutional right to reproductive freedom in November of last year. The far-right legislature thinks they’ve found a way to hurt trans people and overturn that right in one fell swoop.
Departing sharply from Maine’s support of trans people, Missouri’s state congress is making moves to harm trans people and pregnant people!
[…]
The marrying of prohibition on GAC and repealing of abortion rights is, undeniably, an attempt to push fence sitters into agreeing to a measure they might not typically approve of. Amendment 3 won by the narrowest of margins, and ensuring that those who oppose these life-saving treatments for trans kids must also tacitly bless an abortion ban is transparent political maneuvering of the nastiest kind.
Read the article. I just don’t have the spoons to deal with this today.

Yes. My home state is awful. Our politicians love overturning the will of the people.
