Senator Bo Watson on Wednesday hailed a 6-3 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
He said, "The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors is a clear and meaningful victory for Tennessee. This is about protecting our children and preserving the state’s authority to regulate medical care within our borders.
"I’ve always said this law is rooted in our responsibility to safeguard minors from making permanent, life-altering decisions they may not fully understand, and the Court’s 6 to 3 ruling affirms that. I’m proud to see the Court support our efforts to do what’s right for Tennessee families."
