Arkansas

A federal appeals court ruled that the state's ban on gender-affirming care for minors would stay on hold while a lawsuit against it is heard.

Duggar, a member of the 19 Kids and Counting family and a former Family Research Council employee, was found guilty of the charges back in December.

The Arkansas law legally prohibits medical professionals from offering gender-affirming health care to trans youth.

Prosecutors said Trevone Miller killed Brayla Stone in order to cover up their relationship.

The law, banning hormone treatment and puberty blockers as well as gender-affirming surgeries, was set to go into effect July 28.

"This law stands in the way of our child getting the medical care she will desperately need," says Amanda Dennis, mother of a trans daughter.
