North Dakota doctor challenges states ban on gender-affirming care for minors in supreme court. Doctor Rhonda Dredge, who provided such care to a teen patient, lost her lower court battle but filed an appeal earlier this week. The ban, which blocks doctors from prescribing puberty blockers or hormones to anyone under eighteen, went into effect two years ago amid a wave of similar laws across the country. Dredge argues the ruling ignores medical evidence and harms kids who need these treatments. Supporters of the ban, led by Attorney General Drew Wrigley, say it protects children from irreversible decisions. The North Dakota Supreme Court has set oral arguments for the case in coming months, with the outcome likely to shape care access for thousands of kids nationwide.
