Ranking Member Rep. Frank Pallone joins Congressional Equality Caucus and LGBTQ rights leaders in filing an amicus brief with SCOTUS in U.S. v. Skrmetti to oppose an unconstitutional state law and protect access to care for transgender Americans.
Today, along with the Congressional Equality Caucus, I led 163 Members of Congress in an amicus brief to SCOTUS to fight back against Tennessee’s discriminatory ban on transgender minors’ access to necessary healthcare. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/news/documents…
Trans rights are human rights. Joined the Congressional Equality Caucus and 163 Members of Congress to urge the Supreme Court to protect trans Americans' rights to access medically necessary health care. ⬇️
Everyone should have access to the health care they need, when they need it. That’s why I joined Ed Markey, Rep. Mark Pocan, and the Congressional Equality Caucus to challenge Tennessee’s ban on medically necessary care for transgender youth.
Everyone has the right to live true to themselves and be treated with respect for who they are. Today, with 163 other Members of Congress, I called on the Supreme Court to protect the rights of trans Americans to access essential healthcare in the case of US v. Skrmetti. 🏳️‍⚧️⚧️
Proud to cosign this effort with Congressional Equality Caucus & urge #SCOTUS to protect the constitutional rights of our trans community. Healthcare decisions should be up to patients, their families & doctors - not far right politicians.
