Pooner Kate Strangio has another frivolous lolsuit.
Kate and the ACLU clowns have a big problem though........
All of these nonsensical claims have been rejected by the courts already.
"Atop that, the court has expressly held—twice, in
Maher v
. Roe (1977) and
Harris v
. McRae (1980)—that even if a party has a constitutional right to select certain medical care, the government has no constitutional duty to pay for their choice."

Additioanally,
In sum, none of the binding decisions regarding substantive due process establishes that there is a fundamental right to “treat [one's] children with transitioning medications subject to medically accepted standards.” Instead, some of these cases recognize, at a high level of generality, that there is a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the “upbringing” and “care, custody, and control” of one's children.
See Pierce, 268 U.S. at 534–35, 45 S.Ct. 571;
Troxel, 530 U.S. at 66, 120 S.Ct. 2054. And those decisions applying the fundamental parental right in the context of medical decision-making do not establish that parents have a derivative fundamental right to obtain a particular medical treatment for their children as long as a critical mass of medical professionals approve. Moreover, all of the cases dealing with the fundamental parental right reflect the common thread that states properly may limit the authority of parents where “it appears that parental decisions will jeopardize the health or safety of the child, or have a potential for significant social burdens.”
