CWN Editor's Note: US District Judge Jay Moody, appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama, struck down an Arkansas law that protected minors from surgical mutilation, puberty blockers, and unnatural hormone injections, on the grounds that the law violates the United States Constitution’s equal-protection and due-process clauses.

Arkansas officials vowed to appeal the ruling.
