Senate Committee Passes Bill Protecting Children From Gender-Reassignment Surgeries

Sen. Clark and Rep. Lundstrum present H.B. 1570 alongside two psychiatrists who specialize in adolescent psychiatry.

On Monday the Senate Public Health Committee passed H.B. 1570, the Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act.

This good bill by Rep. Robin Lundstrum (R – Springdale) and Sen. Alan Clark (R – Lonsdale) prohibits sex-reassignment procedures on children in Arkansas.

The bill also prevents funding of sex-reassignment procedures performed on children.

Gender-reassignment surgeries can leave children sterilized and scarred for life.

Medical researchers do not know the long term effects these procedures and therapies can have on kids. That is why many people equate them with experimenting on children.

The bill now goes to the entire Arkansas Senate for consideration.

Arkansas House Passes Bill to Protect Fairness in Women’s Sports

Rep. Barker presents S.B. 354 to the House of Representatives.

On Monday the Arkansas House of Representatives passed S.B. 354 by a vote of 75 to 18.

This good bill by Sen. Missy Irvin (R – Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R – Smackover) preserves fairness in girls’ athletics at school.

S.B. 354 will protect girls from being forced to compete against biological males in girls’ athletics.

Letting biological males who identify as female compete against girls can rob female student athletes of opportunities for scholarships. In some sports, it can even be dangerous.

S.B. 354 helps protect fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.

The bill now goes to Gov. Hutchinson to become law.
