INDIANAPOLIS (Network Indiana) – A bill that would ban gender transitioning procedures and treatment for minors was approved by the Heath and Provider Services Committee on Wednesday.
The committee approved the bill at the Indiana Statehouse by a vote of 8-3. Opponents of it protested outside the chamber.
One amendment to the bill does clarify that counseling and mental health services will still be available and not be banned as part of the bill. It would, however, prohibit access to any sort of gender-affirming medical or surgical treatment for transgender kids, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgery for anyone under 18 years old.
Critics of the bill say it interferes with parents’ rights, unnecessarily involves the government into people’s private lives, and is targeting a marginalized group for political reasons. They also say that gender transitioning care is life-saving care.
Those who support the bill say it protects minors from going through surgeries or treatments that could put their lives in danger.
The bill goes to the Senate floor for a full vote.

All of the opponents both outside and inside of the chamber should be investigated to see if they have a history of child abuse, sexual abuse, pedophilia, trafficking…etc..
Please get your mental illness under control and stop grooming children for your fantasy
The sad thing is, there is even a need for this Law.
Thank you Republicans for this Bill!!!
The pendulum swings back to sanity.
The Globalists want to reduce the population on this planet. This is one of their top priorities. It was even on the Georgia guide stones no wonder they didn’t rebuild them. They probably were the ones to blow them up. This is only one of the many ways they are accomplishing the goal. Abortion, LGBTQ stuff, COVID-19, COVID-19 Vaccination, AIDS, Racial discord, poverty, and food shortages. If you are going to Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. They need all these things and more!
