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.

    I remember them just fine. I just wasn’t saying what you wanted me to say, so you pretended I said what you wanted me to say.

    And if you feel that is not the case, go ahead and quote me and tell me what you think I was saying.

      i don’t need to quote you people can fucking read and i don’t want to repeat myself. maybe you can quote my lies and show why they are lies instead of just saying it. always better to show then tell.

            You seem to think I should do what you want me to do after I ask you to do something first.

            Sorry to disappoint you.

                  you take random strangers very seriously when it suits you. when you say its all lies and dishonesty then im supposed tell you why its not with quotes.very funny. when you are the one saying its lies and dishonesty. i already went as deep as i want to go i don’t feel the need to repeat myself if i don’t get anything new. like i said before any random account can say anything they want its meaningless. i can make fun of it as easily as you type it.and i don’t even need to call you names in the process. maybe show in your awesome English how its done how dishonest and a lair im maybe something you should have done in the first place. show not tell. should be no problem at all for someone who likes quotes so much and of course your awesome English.

                    I see, so now I’m apparently bragging about my English skills rather than just not understanding whatever the hell you were trying to say in your previous posts.

                    Interesting.
