Sarah Huckabee Sanders Shuts It Down — Tells Judge She Will NOT Comply

June 23, 2023

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the governor of Arkansas, vowed to fight back on Wednesday after a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama invalidated a state law intended to control transgender therapy, including juvenile sex-change procedures.

The new Republican governor and former press secretary for President Trump criticized U.S. District Judge James M. Moody Jr. for “pushing a political agenda at the expense of our kids” after he stopped the Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act from going into force.

“Rather than protecting children or safeguarding medical ethics, the evidence showed that the prohibited medical care improves the mental health and well-being of patients and that, by prohibiting it, the state undermined the interests it claims to be advancing,” he wrote in his ruling.

Sanders and other state Republican officials retaliated, saying the judge’s choice was motivated by politics rather than science or healthcare.

“This is not ‘care’– it’s activists pushing a political agenda at the expense of our kids and subjecting them to permanent and harmful procedures,” Sanders said. “Only in the far-Left’s woke vision of America is it not appropriate to protect children.”

“We will fight this and the Attorney General plans to appeal Judge Moody’s decision to the Eighth Circuit,” she added.
