The state of Ohio has taken the first step to overturn the compromised RINO governor’s veto of a bill that protects children from permanently harmful transgender procedures and assures privacy and fairness for female athletes.
This from washingtonstand.com.
Conservatives praised the action, while communist/globalist opponents accused its supermajority of promoting:
[A] political, hateful agenda [due to]
money given by radical Christian groups.
One communist/globalist screamed:
You are literally killing our children!
On Wednesday afternoon, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted 65-28 to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of Substitute H.B. 68, more than the 60 votes required.
The measure combines the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act—which shields children from transgender puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone injections, and surgeries—with the Save Women’s Sports Act, which prohibits men from competing in girls’ sports or sharing their locker rooms.
The measure also prevents courts from denying or limiting custody to a parent who refuses to “affirm” their child’s transgender identity and safeguards state taxpayers from funding minors’ transgender procedures through Medicaid.
The bill earned four more votes on the override than it did when the House passed it on December 14.
Overwhelming Republican support came as no surprise to the bill’s sponsor.
State Rep. Gary Click (R-88) on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins said Tuesday:
Our momentum is very good. My colleagues were clamoring to come back and vote on this. They’re very upset, with some flying home from as far as Florida to protect children.
Transgender activists in the House gallery briefly screamed in protest and defeat after Wednesday’s results were announced. But Christian pro-family advocates praised the outcome.
The Left melted down, of course.
Minority Whip Jessica Miranda asserted:
With this vote to override the governor’s veto today, you are literally killing our children!
Take that in for a moment—literally killing our children, all to win your Republican primary race!
David Mahan, policy director at the Columbus-based Center for Christian Virtue, said:
Ohio and the entire nation have spoken. It’s not okay to chemically sterilize and mutilate children, and no clinic can transform little girls into little boys with pills and scalpels.
I want to thank Representatives Click and [Jena] Powell for courageously championing this legislation, and Speaker [Jason] Stephens for acting swiftly to protect our kids from the dangerous consequences of Governor DeWine’s veto.
Again, the House voted 65-28 in favor of overriding DeWine’s veto of House Bill 68. Republicans have a supermajority in the state Senate and are expected to hold their own vote later this month.
