Pittsburgh City councilwoman sponsors legislation to protect gender-affirming care

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pittsburgh could soon be a "sanctuary city" for gender-affirming care. 

Legislation sponsored by Councilmember Barb Warwick would protect healthcare providers and patients should that type of care ever become unlawful. 

Warwick said right now, 93-percent of transgender and non-binary youth worry about being denied care due to state or local laws.
