"People are abusing these children. The idea that we would be making potentially life-altering changes to 11, 12, 13, 14, 15-year-old kids when it is illegal for them to have sex is insane. I mean, they're not responsible enough to smoke a cigarette until they're 21." -Michigan State Representative, Beau LaFave

If approved, it would be illegal in The Great Lakes State to allow a child to undergo transition surgeries or ingest cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers, according to the text of House Bill No. 6454.

The legislation states the consequences would apply to anyone who "knowingly or intentionally consents to, obtains, or assists with a gender transition procedure for a child."

"For purposes of this subdivision only, 'person' means a child's parent or guardian or any other person who cares for, has custody of, has authority over a child, regardless of the length of time that a child is cared for, in the custody of, or subject to the authority of that person, or a physician or other licensed medical professional," reads the proposal.

It adds, "Child abuse in the first degree is a felony punishable by imprisonment for life or any term of years"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
