What happened to the “preservation of life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in one-half of our United States? Wyoming just became the 24th state banning physicians from performing gender transitioning and gender reassignment procedures for children.
The law, recently signed by Republican Governor Mark Gordon, also penalizes pharmacists and other healthcare professionals for providing gender-affirming care to minors. These punishments include license revocation.
With SCOTUS overturning Roe vs Wade in 2022, the pernicious proliferation of book banning in America, and this draconian ukase in almost half the country, the US is deteriorating into the dreaded, dystopic Republic of Gilead Canadian Margaret Atwood warned us about decades ago in The Handmaid’s Tale.
Who is free to pursue what happiness with what liberty?
