A federal judge has blocked a new law that would make it a felony for doctors to give children puberty blockers and hormone treatments.US District Judge Liles Burke issued the preliminary injunction on Friday, blocking parts of the state's Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act, which went into effect just last week. It makes it a felony for doctors to provide puberty blockers, hormone treatments or transition surgery to anyone under the age of 19. Any doctors who are found to have violated the law could face 10 years in prison.
