Lawmakers in Nebraska, Oklahoma and South Dakota considered bills Wednesday that would prohibit treatments such as the use of puberty-blocking drugs and hormones for young people

“We’re going to do what we can to help children and families, allow the child to reach a certain level of maturity, where they then, on their own or in consultation with their parents, will make these decisions,” said state Sen. Julie Daniels, a Republican who wrote Oklahoma’s bill and said she would personally prefer to ban such care for anyone younger than 21.

“This bill is insulting. It is dehumanizing. It is wrong,” said state Sen. John Frederickson of Omaha, the first openly gay man to be elected to the Nebraska Legislature. Its genesis is “hypocrisy and hatred.” The Oklahoma bill carries hefty penalties for medical professionals who violate the ban, including potential felony charges that carry up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine, as well as civil liability and a loss of a doctor’s medical license. Oklahoma’s Republican Gov.

Oklahoma’s Senate Rules Committee also passed a companion bill that would prevent the use of any public funds by entities or organizations that provide such care, even to adults.

Good to see Republicans are making progress on economic issues like they promised, this should help to curb inflation.

'Considered?' Fucking 'considered?' Everybody involved in that shit, plus their families, friends and dogs should have been in jail like ten years ago.

That's just fucking evil. They want those kids either dead or just miserable

Monsters

Outlaw this horror across the country. It's no different than Josef Mengele's experiments in Auschwitz.

Good, it’s not medical care it’s chemical castration.
