Ohio House Votes to Override Governor’s Veto of Bill Banning Sex Changes for Minors, Trans Participation in Girls’ SportsKatherine Hamilton 10 Jan 2024
Ohio House Republicans voted on Wednesday to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s (R) veto of a bill that would protect minors from sex change drugs and procedures and ban male participation on female sports teams.
The Ohio House, which has a Republican supermajority, voted 65-28 to override DeWine’s veto of House Bill 68 or “Enact Ohio Saving Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act,” in an effort they said will protect children and families and female sports teams from the consequences of the radical left’s embrace of gender ideology.
“Consultation with an ideologically captured physician does not grant parents the right to harm children through irreversible surgeries and harmful drugs,” Republican State Rep. Gary Click, the bill’s sponsor, said in remarks before the vote.
He said:
No parent has the constitutional right to harm their child. The same government that requires you to send your children to school, prohibits you from giving them illicit drugs, and can charge parents with neglect and abuse, also has the obligation to prevent parents and physicians from chemically castrating and sterilizing their children.
