Data are not political. Clinical guidelines are not political. Healthcare (which is a human right) depends on both.
Restoring access to CDC and NIH datasets and guidance is a public health imperative. ACOG and leading physician groups urge Congress to ensure that CDC, NIH, and public health agencies have the resources and ability to provide physicians and the public with the information they need. bit.ly/4hPJjCR

Calling gender-affirming care experimentation is blatant disinformation. There is no slippery slope to deregulation, just evidenced-based care that saves lives.
Citing “abortion on demand by adolescents” gives away that this is just more moral policing
