Bills in 16 States Would Save Kids from Mutilating Trans Surgeries, But This Time, It's Republicans Who Are Blocking Them

Raymond Wolfe : Feb 11, 2022  LifeSiteNews.com

A recent Florida bill, HB 211, would crack down on doctors who remove children's healthy body parts or prescribe off-label hormone drugs to kids. Even though Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has publicly endorsed such measures, the state's Republican House Speaker is actively preventing HB 211 from moving forward, according to the bill author...

There are already around 20 active bills this year that would crack down on the practices, nearing past records in 2021 and 2020.

In South Carolina, a bill proposed by a Democratic state representative and sponsored by dozens of Republicans would prohibit "any individual" from giving hormone drugs to gender-confused minors or performing "sex change" surgeries on them. The bill, HB 4047, also bars anyone, including school officials, from encouraging kids to undergo the procedures. Violators could face felony charges and 20 years in prison under the policy.

Two similar bills introduced in Alabama last month would criminalize providing minors with the experimental drugs and surgeries as Class C felonies, with penalties of up to 10 years of jail time. One of the bills, SB 5, cleared the Alabama Senate Healthcare Committee on Wednesday and now heads to the GOP-controlled Senate for a floor vote.

Republican state Sen. Shay Shelnutt, who authored SB 5, said "we want to make sure [transgender surgery] never happens to these children because there are lifelong consequences to these procedures," according to local news.

At least 14 other states have similar bills under consideration, including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and West Virginia... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
