Breitbart.com reports: “Liberal-leaning Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor compared the risks of puberty blockers and sex-mutilating surgeries for minors to the risks of taking Aspirin on Wednesday.

Sotomayor made the shocking comparison during oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, a case brought by the Biden administration challenging Tennessee’s law banning sex change drugs and procedures for minors who believe they are transgender.

‘They cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners, so it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits versus risk. And the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left to the legislature,’ Tennessee Solicitor General Matthew Rice argued.

‘I’m sorry, counselor,’ Sotomayor interjected. ‘Every medical treatment has a risk — even taking Aspirin. There is always going to be a percentage of the population under any medical treatment that is going to suffer a harm.’…”
