Columbia Daily Tribune.Under the language of the amended ordinance, law enforcement is expected either not to pursue charges, or deprioritize the enforcement of, any laws imposing criminal or civil penalties against individuals who seek out or assist others in obtaining gender-affirming care.This is in direct reference to Missouri’s law prohibiting minors from accessing such treatments, which Republican Gov. Mike Parson signed into law last year.That law also prohibits adult Medicaid recipients from having the cost of any transition-related procedures covered, meaning they must pay for such services out of pocket.Authorities are also encouraged to deprioritize arresting, detaining, or transferring individuals to other states for seeking out gender-affirming care for themselves or their children, in violation of their own state’s laws.Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has been dogged in his insistence that the ban on health care for transgender minors be enforced, even demanding that local police, especially in Kansas City and St.

letter demanding that the NCAA ban transgender female athletes from competing in women’s sports.The letter’s signatories are Governors Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, Tate Reeves of Mississippi, Mike Parson of Missouri, Greg Gianforte of Montana, Joe Lombardo of Nevada, Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Greg Abbott of Texas, and Mark Gordon of Wyoming.All except Lombardo — who is saddled with a Democratic-led state legislature — represent states that have passed laws banning transgender participation on female-designated sports teams.The governors decry the NCAA’s current policy on transgender athletes, which allows the individual national governing body of each sport to determine criteria for eligibility.Some of those sporting bodies, including track and field and swimming, have barred transgender competitors from female events.Both bodies have also suggested holding a third “open” category in which transgender swimmers could compete at the elite or post-collegiate levels.“The NCAA has the chance to guarantee an environment where female college athletes can thrive without the concern of inequities,” the letter reads. “We trust that you also want to guarantee just such an environment.

death row inmate was given a ribeye steak and shrimps as his final meal before being executed by lethal injection.Carman Deck, 56, was given the slap-up meal at 1pm, with the controversial inmate executed five hours later at the state prison in Bonne Terre, Missouri.His execution was shrouded in controversy after having his sentence for the murders of elderly couple James and Zelma Long in 1996 overturned three times since he carried out the brutal killings in July 1996.He shot both James and Zelma in the head after he and his sister stopped at their home, pretending to ask for directions.Deck was given a lethal injection and pronounced dead ten minutes later, with the prisoner feasting on a lavish meal just hours before his death at the state prison.Reports indicate that the final meal was quite the feast for the murderer, with a ribeye steak, shrimp, asparagus, salad with Italian dressing, cottage cheese and V-8 Juice all included in the meal.Deck is the fifth person to be executed this year in the United States and his fate was sealed after Missouri Governor Mike Parson refused to offer the prisoner any leniency.In a statement, Parson said: "Mr Deck has received due process, and three separate juries of his peers have recommended sentences of death for the brutal murders he committed."The State of Missouri will carry out Mr Deck's sentence according to the Court's order and deliver justice." Deck's sentence had been overturned by the Missouri Supreme Court in 1998 when it was found Deck's attorney had committed serious errors during the trial.A second death penalty ruling was thrown out in 2005 when it was decided the jury had been prejudiced by seeing Deck in shackles, and a third was annulled in 2008 after a trial
