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.
Conservatives : Show me your personal medical records. I need to know if you are commiting crimes.
Also conservatives: No you can’t see my tax returns. That’s personal.
Even better - Conservatives: show me your personal medical records, I need to know if you are doing something I want to be illegal.
Also conservatives: what do you mean you want to check my mental health background before I can purchase a gun? Outrageous.
The whole LGBT stuff is such bullshit since it should 100% easily fall under first amendment expression it is retarded that they have not been trounced are every turn.
Ah, but you see, there is no restrictions to owning a gun. Our forefathers believed so, even though at the time every gun was a single shot using black powder that wasn’t that accurate. They absolutely knew that one day people would have semi-automatic weapons able to fire off an obscene amount rounds in a minute, hitting a target accurately from a long distance.
Don’t forget that they were just coming out of a time of oppression and persistent existential fear, but were obviously clairvoyant enough to know that it would be a rule that held in what would be the absolute safest and most peaceful time the world has known in 200 years.
Man fuck Republicans
The singling out of a group and taking away rights seems familiar. Something, Something, Something third Reich.
You’re just saying that because a certain government in Germany forcefully obtained a list of people who’d received gender affirming care. I wonder why the names on that list seem to not have been around in the 1950s
The names may have changed but boy does the current situation in the USA catch the spirit of it. Scapegoat one particular class and villainize them.
Well what I was trying to say is that those patients did not survive the Nazi regime. The famous photo of a Nazi book burning was an act of transphobia and homophobia.
Ah, miscommunication in that case.
More familiar than you think.

Candy canes, not poles.
He’s a creeper.
Another Grindr profile with no picture, and probably just “HMU” in the text portion.

But it’s not exactly clear yet which documents Bailey will be able to access or that sensitive medical records are completely off the table, as legal experts warn that HIPAA operates with a fairly narrow scope.
Does anyone here with any experience in this field know what sort of information he could access that would be damaging to patients?
The statement from Planned Parenthood includes:
Despite the Attorney General’s demand that PPSLR turn over all patient medical records related to gender-affirming care, the court ruled that individual patient records remain protected — a major victory for patients’ privacy rights.
I suspect this means the AG may receive de-identified records including procedure or diagnosis information, but not including any patient identifying information such as patient or billing account, name, address, social, date of birth, date of service, etc.
It could also include aggregate information about providers and facilities, especially if records are obtained under the guise of a fraud investigation, allowing the AG to target locations and providers where patients frequently obtain specific services. That route might be the most harmful to patients, for ex. if they’re unable to continue receiving care because of harassment of the providers.
There is no such thing as a good conservative alive today. Conservatives bring only oppression and death. They are the enemy of humanity.

Work towards peace, prepare for the inevitable.
Little shit never leaves his enclave either.
He knows what will happen if he ever shows his face in KC or St. Louis.
What the hell? Seriously, living your life is too much to ask?
Probably just so he can wank to the pictures.
I think it’s only for minors, which is even weirder.
Conservatives love kids genitals these days
I’m from St. Louis so I keep up with local politics and shit. While you might find I disagree with most people on a lot of things, especially in the trans area of discussion, at no point do I think it’s a good idea to put a politician in the same room as a doctor and a patient. That is all I am willing to say about that.
Don’t trust any man in a suit especially if he looks like he wears one every day.
Missouri, Goddamn.
