Indiana Attorney General Rokita and U.S. Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind.) issued statements Wednesday as Governor Holcomb signed Senate Bill 480, which would stop potentially irreversible gender transition drugs and procedures for minors, including puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and irreversible surgeries such as mastectomies for the purpose of gender transition.
AG Rokita’s statement was as follows:
“Signing the bill that protects our children from irreversible and damaging decisions was the right move by the governor,” AG Rokita said. “Banning these experimental procedures is critical for the health and wellbeing of future generations. My office is thankful for the General Assembly’s hard work to ensure this got across the finish line. We are ready to defend it in court.”
Senator Braun’s statement was as follows:
“A child cannot consent to irreversible sex change surgery, and Indiana will no longer allow children to take dangerous drugs with long-term consequences like puberty blockers and hormone therapies in the name of extreme gender theories,” Sen. Braun said. “These kids are clearly having a hard time, and we need to give them compassion and mental health help rather than dangerous, un-tested, unapproved drugs and irreversible surgeries.”
Puberty blockers and hormone therapies have not been approved by the FDA for gender transition.
Yes, Thank You Gentlemen!
I wouldn’t trust either of you for dog catcher. STAY OUT of healthcare! Not your decision to make. Go raise taxes or spmething.
Children under age 18 are not some kind of science experiment the parents conduct thinking they can change the child’s sex.
