A Legal Challenge Against Alabama’s Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act Begins
The legal challenge against the state over the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act has started. This is the law that makes it a felony for doctors to provide gender-affirming medical care to transgender children.
The first step for the lawsuit against the act is on the motion filed by the plaintiffs asking the judge to block this law before it goes into effect on Sunday.
There are a couple of possible outcomes of the hearings.
If the court decides this law should be blocked, it will not go into effect on Sunday, and the rest of the lawsuit will progress, which could take years.
