The competing views
What the available sources tell us about the request and the decision being challenged:
The clinic says the remaining ban on discrimination based on sex stereotypes still covers conduct it objects to. It argues that the other lawsuit did not give it all the protection it sought.
The government says the challenged provisions have already been removed and the clinic no longer faces a credible threat of enforcement. It also disputes whether the clinic properly challenged the remaining language in the first place.
Based on the court’s case description and the filings identified below. Where a side’s detailed argument is unavailable, we explain the earlier ruling and say what is missing. Allegations are not findings of fact.
