By a simple majority, Republican members of the Arkansas House and Senate voted Tuesday to overturn a veto issued the previous day by Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson of a bill banning gender-affirming medical carefor trans youth. The governor said the law is extreme and places children at risk. Arkansas is now the first state in the nation to enact such a ban.
