ACLU sues State of Indiana for refusing to spend taxpayer cash on sex change for transgender...

The far-left ACLU is suing on behalf of a convicted, tatted-up child killer hoping to force Indiana to use taxpayer money for the inmate's gender-affirming surgery.

The transgender inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn Cordellione, admitted to killing 'the little f**king b*tch' after he was arrested for the strangulation death of his 11-month-old stepdaughter. Richardson was sentenced to more than five decades behind bars.

The lawsuit comes after a new law that was passed this summer during the 2023 legislative session, which prohibits the Indiana Department of Corrections  from providing gender-affirming medical care to incarcerated transgender people.

But, the ACLU contends that the new law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, Fox News reported.

On August 28, the organization filed the lawsuit claiming that Richardson's reassignment surgery 'is a medical necessity.'

Richardson's case is not the first sex reassignment surgery for an inmate. In Minnesota, a transgender inmate won her case againt the DOC and received $495,000 for the sex-change surgery and then was transferred to a women's facility.
