This week's attacks on gender-affirming care aren't really about protecting youth. They're an attempt to penalize doctors for doing their job, shame trans people, + take away care for the trans community.

Appeals court weighs arguments on law cutting Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood A federal appeals court has heard arguments about a spending law that stopped Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider.

Know this: PPCCC will never stop fighting to protect access to care. Our patients, supporters, and communities are counting on us, and we do not intend to let them down.
