A new Tennessee law that bans transgender procedures for minors was partially blocked by a federal judge, who said the prohibition likely runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution.
“If Tennessee wishes to regulate access to certain medical procedures, it must do so in a manner that does not infringe on the rights conferred by the United States Constitution, which is of course supreme to all other laws of the land,” U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson wrote in a 69-page ruling. "With regard to SB1, Tennessee has likely failed to do just this.”
