AG Kaul Issues Statement Following U.S. Supreme Court Decision in Gender Affirming Care Case

MADISON, Wis. – Attorney General Josh Kaul issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision today in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a case regarding gender-affirming care for minors:

“Politicians shouldn’t be making health-care decisions for people, but in mistakenly failing to find a violation of the Equal Protection Clause in Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has left politicians to prohibit health-care decisions that politicians shouldn’t be involved in. With this decision, it is all the more important that policymakers protect access to critical health care for members of the transgender community.”
