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.
Sorry, it makes it worse that I haven’t been called a bigot in all that time? That’s a badge of honor or something?
Do you think it’s maybe just because I don’t say bigoted things?

Nope, I’m trying to seriously say again that no one has ever called me a bigot.

So people who use the internet “very well” are called bigots? How do you make this determination?
it is very simple it shows experience if you reply to enough people someone will always eventually start calling you names. its inevitable if you do it long enough you can not avoid this because people are people. and you saying you have never encountered this shows you have not used the internet well enough. so you bragging about this is very funny.
Plenty of people have called me names.
No one has called me a bigot.
Why you think I said I’ve never been called names I don’t know since that is not something I even implied.
I know you really want me to have been called a bigot, but I still haven’t. Maybe you can fix that and call me a bigot!
