Good. Children do not have the ability to consent. These procedures sterilize them.

Government should not be dictating medical decisions.

So, it's so nice to see the Mormons have fixed all of the problems in Utah. SLC has growing problems that are just down the hill from the State House, and these same fools do nothing about it.

Why is Axios employing a liar like Barak Ravid ?

You have it the other way around, axios, the controversy is pumping these drugs into children.

Yep, just let them kill themselves instead because some folks don't like this or that, but save that fetus...unless it turns out trans or anything else then it is not good. Very, Very prolife folks. You want parents to make decisions, unless you don't like their decision?

There's nothing at all controversial about protecting children. Every one of these children has been successfully led astray by an adult who knowingly, purposely, groomed them. That is what they should be protected from.

Hate is all republicans are capable of.

This will cost children's health and in some cases their lives. It's disgusting some are so willfully ignorant and indoctrinated their hatefulness comes before others. Shame on you

Fixed the headline for you... 'Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed an important bill that will ban the psychological and physical abuse of young, impressionable children'
