Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry signed a coalition letter along with 12 other state AGs to Merrick Garland and the DOJ in response to radical medical associations sending their own letter to the same recipient, demanding a crackdown on “disinformation” regarding child mutilation surgeries.
On October 3, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Children’s Hospital Association asked the DOJ to investigate the parties responsible for “coordinating, provoking and carrying out bomb threats and threats of personal violence.” They blamed “an intentional campaign of disinformation, where a few high-profile users on social media share false and misleading information.”
Landry and others, however, warn that the October 3 letter is an effort to crack down on critics of child mutilation surgeries and hospitals and clinics that abuse children in this way. In their response letter, the state AGs remind Garland that “Silencing critics of current gender dysphoria treatment practices for minors will not make children any safer or healthier. Instead, it will lead to bad decision-making and erode public confidence in both the federal government and the medical community.”
