Last week Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed legislation protecting children from sex-change surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. Wyoming reportedly is the 24th state to enact a law of this kind.
Sex-change surgeries and procedures can leave children sterilized and scarred for life.
A growing body of scientific evidence shows children should not be subjected to sex-change procedures, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. That is why many experts agree these procedures are experimental, at best, and actually do serious harm to children.
In 2021, lawmakers in Arkansas overwhelmingly passed the Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act.
The SAFE Act is a good law that prevents doctors in Arkansas from performing sex-change surgeries on children or giving them puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
Unfortunately, the SAFE Act has been tied up in court for more than two years, and a federal judge in Little Rock has blocked the state from enforcing the law. However, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin’s office is appealing the case.
It’s good to see lawmakers across the nation taking steps to protect children. Public opinion is shifting on this issue, with more Americans saying that it’s morally wrong to change genders. Even though Arkansas’ SAFE Act is in federal court at the moment, we believe the judges will recognize that it is a good law and uphold it as constitutional.
