Radical Leftist lawmakers in Oregon are working to create a sanctuary state for minors to get abortions or sex changes without parental consent.
This from survivethenews.com.
The measure, The Reproductive Health and Access to Care Act:
[W]ould allow any person without regard to the age to get abortions or sex change surgeries, including those that will sterilize them, without their parent’s knowledge or permission.
The changes would also deem facial reconstruction surgery and hair removal as “medically necessary” — requiring insurance companies to cover it.
According to a report from the Associated Press, democrat communist/globalist House Speaker Dan Rayfield said of the measure:
Someone I know and love, someone you know and love, may need an abortion or gender-affirming care someday.
People should have the right to make their own decisions on their own health care with medical professionals, without fear of harm.
The lead sponsor of the bill, radical Leftist state Sen. Kate Lieber, implied during the hearing about the measure that it will help to prevent teen suicide.
She testified:
LGBTQ youth in particular have a very high rate of suicide. It is really important to listen to the children who are telling us what they’re feeling and how they are being in this world.
The report explains that in addition to allowing minors to obtain life and body-altering procedures, it will:
[S]hield providers and patients from criminal and civil liability as states have moved to outlaw abortion following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade last year.
It would also allow a person to bring a civil action in court against a public body for interfering with their reproductive health rights.
The report added:
The bill would also prohibit medical licensing boards from suspending, revoking or refusing to grant a license to a provider because of a conviction or disciplinary action for providing reproductive or gender-affirming health care in states where that care is restricted.
Republican state Rep. Emily McIntire testified that:
[O]ne of the most beautiful relationships in the universe is a parent to a child and that this bill goes to the very core of a family unit.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
[A] detransitioner named Frank Smith told lawmakers he agreed to genital surgery and breast implants while addicted to meth and has had to navigate his way to detransitioning on his own since the therapists he went to for help told him his remaining male characteristics caused his post-transition unhappiness.
When he decided to remove the breast implants, Medicaid would not pay for the procedure so he had to save up on his own.
Smith said, explaining that he learned too late that he cannot reconstruct his former body if he changed his mind:
I could not afford complete anesthesia and they operated on me while I was awake with only a little numbing cream.
My muscles had been ripped off the bone in haste to fabricate female anatomy on a male chest. There is no reattaching them.
Final thoughts: This reads like nazi-esque medical experiments. Not only should licenses for counseling and surgery be pulled, but criminal charges must be brought against everyone mentally and physically abusing our sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, including the elected insane radical liberal Left politicians.
