[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart and Yamiche Alcindor took aim at an Alabama law on Wednesday that would prohibit giving hormone treatment and puberty blockers to those under the age of 19, portraying such things as simple medical care.

Diaz-Balart came out of commercial break swinging, “The ACLU and other groups are suing Alabama on behalf of two families who say a new law criminalizing health care for trans young people will be devastating for their children. Alabama the first state to make it a felony to provide gender-affirming care to transgender or non-binary youth under the age of 19.”
