Without hesitation or debate the California Assembly voted overwhelmingly [59-13] June 10 to set up a fund using tax-payer dollars to give minors and adults cross-sex hormones and surgeries that will permanently destroy their reproductive systems.
According to author Assemblyman Miguel Santiago (D) Los Angeles, AB 2218 established an “LGBT Transgender Wellness Fund,” to provide grants to nonprofits, hospitals, health care clinics (like Planned Parenthood), and other medical providers that supply puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, as well as cross-sex hormones and “sex-change” operations for adults.
Originally the bill asked for $15 million to start the fund, but that amount was recently removed from the bill text. Now the exact amount added to the fund will be decided by the legislature at a later date.
According to Dr. Quentin Van Meter, a board-certified pediatric endocrinologist who testified against AB 2218 in the Assembly Health Committee, studies show children who are treated with cross-sex hormones for their gender confusion have “significant mental health issues,” that remain even after hormone therapy.
Van Meter warned legislators that the state would be sued in the coming years for funding transgender affirming treatments for troubled and vulnerable children because they destroy healthy body tissue, sterilize the recipient, and cause irreversible damage. (Read his opposition letter here)
The above comes from a June 10 story in Press California.
So an obviously evil program could only find 13 elected officials to oppose it, CA politics in a nutshell! Instead of offering those with gender dysphoria the psychological intervention they need, the CA assembly offers major surgeries and heavy medication to “fix” a mental health issue. That the scales would fall from their eyes.
Let us pray that, against all odds, this does not become law. This would be another legalization of child abuse.
DIABOLICAL. And what do the bishops say?
Yes, Clinton, our bishops should with one voice condemn this outrage, this complete and total insanity. Failing that, they should resign their office.
Saintly and holy bishops would boldly march into the Capitol building to admonish these so-called “leaders”, even to suffer arrest and imprisonment for the sake of the Truth of Christ.
How long, O Lord, how long…?
Parents should be “ready” if they come for their children without permission, and the police should take good advantage of “sick leave” if they are called to enforce this diabolical law. The names of the politicians who voted for this will go down in infamy.
Anne TE, “The names of the politicians who voted for this will go down in infamy.” Yes, but they should also be voted out of office which probably won’t happen if the past is any indication of uninformed voter choices. Newsom should also go down in infamy but will undoubtedly be voted into office again. After all, he’s a democrat and in CA supporting a fellow democrat is all that matters to democrats. Independent thought no longer is allowed.
Amen to that.
Unless they make a complete conversion, of course, but it would be pretty hard to trust any of them, and they would have to prove over years their trustworthiness by their actions and votes as St. Paul had to do.
