Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene reintroduced the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” last week. The bill will stop “gender-affirming” care on children.
“It will protect children from the heinous and evil ideology that is grooming kids and making a profit off of horrific surgeries that mutilate their genitals, give them life-altering medications like puberty blockers, hormone therapy, that will have permanent damage to their bodies for the rest of their life,” MTG said. “Before these kids are even grown up. Before they’ve graduated from high school. Before they’re old enough to vote. Before they’re old enough to get a tattoo — ink on their own skin. Before they’re old enough to join the military. Before they’re old enough to make adult decisions. This is an important bill that Congress must pass.”
MTG added that her bill would charge any person who knowingly performs gender-affirming care on a minor with a Class C felony. It will prohibit all taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care. It will prohibit institutions of higher education from providing instruction on gender-affirming care.
“There’s nothing affirming about lying to children that they can change their gender,” MTG said. “Because you cannot change your gender.”
Aliens who performed gender-affirming care on a minor will be ineligible to receive visas or be admitted into the United States.
“We need to take a strong stand in the United States of America, that we do not abuse our children or sexualize them in any way,” MTG said.
She then provided some examples of why the bill is necessary.
Something must be done to protect the sacred identity of children. Because God made all of us male and female in his image.
My bill, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, will do that.
