Healthcare providers face losing their medical or professional licenses if they “knowingly engage in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of gender transition procedures to any person under 18 years of age,” the law reads.

Some medical professionals in the state rebuked the law, and in response, Gov. Tate Reeves said, “Let me be clear in a world that’s upside down, when it comes to doing right by our kids, Mississippi will once again fight to keep our state right side up,” according to The Hill.

Many medical organizations, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, say these laws harm patients.
