Ohio Supreme Court hears transgender youth healthcare case
Published on March 24, 2026.
The Ohio Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a controversial case that could change access to medical care for transgender minors across the state. The case, "Moe v. Yost," challenges Ohio House Bill 68, which bans doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapy to transgender patients under 18. The law was passed after the Ohio General Assembly overrode a veto by Mike DeWine in 2023. Supporters argue it protects children from making life-altering medical decisions too early. However, the lawsuit was filed by parents who argue it violates Ohio’s Healthcare Freedom Amendment. A ruling is expected at a later date and could have implications in other states considering similar laws.
