HB 1570 was just passed through both chambers in the Arkansas legislature, banning trans youth from accessing health care and health insurance coverage that we deserve and need.

Our rights and lives are under attack.

Governor Hutchinson must veto this bill.

5. They didn't 'ban healthcare' for trans youth, though. The tweet is very misleading.

They banned two specific treatments for people under 19: puberty blockers and hormones.

6. So, they banned healthcare for trans youths

As per YOUR OWN STATEMENT. The tweet is not misleading at all.

Do you have no idea what those two healthcare treatments are??? THEY ARE INTEGRAL.

7. To me, the headline means all healthcare.

The headline is misleading.

8. No, they didn't. As per the actual story.

9. Agreed.

When I read the tweet it implies they can’t get any insurance or healthcare. And I’m thinking, if they fall and need stitches, they can’t get it covered?

The law is disgusting on its on transphobic merits. It didn’t need to be sensationalized.
