A Nebraska law that combined abortion restrictions with another measure to limit gender-affirming health care for minors does not violate a state constitutional amendment requiring bills to stick to a single subject, a majority of the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday.

The state’s high court acknowledged in its ruling that abortion and gender-affirming care “are distinct types of medical care,” but found the law does not violate Nebraska’s single-subject rule because both abortion and transgender health fall under the subject of medical care.

The majority relied, in part, on a passage from an 1895 ruling to find the state constitution offers wide latitude on what composes a single subject.

    Do not screw with it and maintain it properly.

    Who the fuck died and made you the god damn arbiter of what constitutes screwing with your body, and what constitutes proper maintenance?

    I think I trust the advice of actual doctors over some fucking elected yokel who’s acting against the advice of the professional mental health community.

    Why dont you try living with gender dysphoria for two and a half decades, then get back to me, hmm?
