Republican Leaders Challenge Tennessee's Transgender Care Ban

Over 30 prominent Republicans file amicus brief arguing the law infringes on parental rights and individual liberties.

The Supreme Court will hear the case, L.W. v. Skrmetti, challenging Tennessee's 2023 law banning gender-affirming care for minors.
Signatories include seven former members of Congress and current state legislators from Wyoming, Missouri, and Iowa.
The brief emphasizes traditional conservative values of limited government and parental rights in medical decisions.
Supporters argue the law violates the equal protection clause by discriminating against transgender children.
Democratic members of Congress have also filed a brief, labeling the law as 'unscientific' and 'dangerous.'
