Gov. Mike DeWine said in a Columbus press conference that his decision to veto House Bill 68 was ultimately “about protecting human life.” The bill would have restricted both transition-related care for minors and transgender girls’ participation on school sports teams.

#Ohio #GenderAffirmingCare #Transgender

Pure madness.
Oh wow, Gov Dewine, I'm so proud of you and so pleasantly surprised. Thank you for doing what's right.
this clown just turned me into a democrat
All hail child abuse! There is no justification to legitimize surgical and chemical changes of children that amounts to chemical/surgical sterilization and mutilation of children.
Once they become adults they can do what they want… But if you believe that a child can make such a decision, then I now understand why some people think that training your child to be a child soldier is ok, like they do in Palestinian territories. After all they can clearly make adult decisions, and what the parent wants is more important than what is in the best interests of the child's future…. Rrriiiighhtt.
Passjng Reproductive Rights including transitioning without parental rights CONCERNS EVERYONE Governor, not very few!!!!
This topic has nothing to do with me. As the Governor said it applies to very few people. Yet we made laws called Reproductive Rights that include all of us and transitioning without parental consent does concern me!!! Who is NOT understanding that oxymoron?
This is a good bill. It protects children from having things done to them that are irreversible. It protects them from advocate doctors, parents and shrinks from coercive practices. He’s going to regret this one day.
Vote out this career RINO!!!
You coward. You chose to protect a few delusional people over protecting biological females.
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
This guy's dangerous for kids🇵🇬
I hope that the legislators can override your veto Mikey!
Evil old man, has lost is moral compass❕
THANK YOU 🙏 MIKE DEWINE
FOR VETOING THIS BILL
WE ARE “ABOVE” THIS AS A NATION
IT’S SMALL & PETTY
In 20 years, we will look at gender medicine the same way we look at lobotomies today.
Pediatric gender medicine is child abuse. The “experts” in this field are merely activists with medical degrees.
Someone in the medical industry must have some dirt on him.
How wonderful for biological girls to have to compete against biological boys now. What a load of BS! Protect biological girls from these nuts!
The gerrymandered Ohio legislature is completely controlled by corrupt, authoritarian, right wing crazies. DeWine has pretty much gone along with them. As this decision demonstrates , on occasion he can bring himself to act with some decency and integrity.
If so many kids would commit suicide without gender affirming care, why is it that suicide rates among kids has skyrocketed since they started doing gender affirming care?
And where were the millions & millions of kids in the pre 2000’s that were secretly trans? I never saw one kid in my school career that was depressed because they were in the wrong body-
All this seems like brainwashing being done by medical professionals that have been indoctrinated and are now in turn indoctrinating kids-
Thank God this trans issue is only a fad in the US and a handful of western, English speaking nations- the other 90+% of the world doesn’t even know this insanity is going on-
this menegele-friend is responsible for mutilation and castration of kids.
prison to this horrible gov.
Ohhhbut he had no issue locking everyone down and being a communist
He’s morally corrupt and disgusting. It’s about money
This is about money, and nothing more. This is not based on science but on woke ideology which he is being bought and paid for through pharmaceutical companies and cultural politics…so sad for the children of Ohio. Hopefully his veto will be overturned 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Anyone who thinks they're smarter than the overwhelming majority of medical professionals needs to fvcking prove it by publishing their findings in a medical journal instead of pushing their ignorance on the pubic with government.
So, by that logic – if a little 6 year old boy or girl tells their parents they never want to have children – and the parents agree – they can take them down to the clinic or hospital and have their 6 year old neutered…….give the boy a vasectomy; perhaps a hysterectomy for the little girl.
Weak “Republican”. Did the hospitals get to ya Dewine? Saying how much revenue they would lose butchering kids. Not sure if it is possible in Ohio, but should be looking at throwing him out. Override this quickly legislature.
Bless him. Terrible bill, sensible "old man", understanding the issue and deciding on the side of compassion and common sense, not on uptight religious ideas owned by people who are just flawed human beings like the rest of us. (And I thought "you all" were about less government, not more! This bill affects so few children, it is a waste of ink.)
In other words he's a rhino that's okay with clitoris mutilation.
A rare Governor nowadays, putting his politics aside to reach a decision. It sounds to me like he made this decision with kindness in his heart—that’s something I think should be celebrated
Great!
So, apparently the place to go to turn girls into boys is Ohio!
🙄🙄🙄
PATHETIC
Hey Governor crap for brains! Reasonable people do not support irreversible drug or surgical treatments for CHILDREN because they are confused and influenced by destructive social fads and pressure. Reasonable people are not so stupid as to believe a man can transform themself into a women. That requires a complete lack of recognizing reality. Pandering to stupidity is not good governance regardless of what some people really believe. There are facts and there is BS. Leaders should separate the two as such
Ohio vote him out of office.
I didn't know George Burns was still alive! This guy is governing a state? What a buffoon!
This is the result when righteously stupid people who are spiritually dead inside vote.
Why do we have a state legislature if a so called governor can give them the middle finger. This guy says he cares about human life is a lie. He doesn't care about female athletes at all. Now a girl who is good in sports will have to answer if they are a boy or girl after every good game they have. He is a disgrace to humanity
…hypocrite when it come to vaccine mandates.
Why's The Devil's Groups Of Nikki's Out Here Talking About Blowing Up The White House?
I just really do not believe that Mothers and Fathers are taking thier young children to a doctor to have a gender change surgery at the age of 12 and under.
Dewine has totally ruined female sports in Ohio. If a biological girl is good in any sport she will constantly be asked if she is a girl or boy. He says he cares about the children , no he only care about boys who want to mutilate themselves. Not biological girls at all. Ohio needs a special vote to get rid of this Satan worshipper.
Is not a complex subject.
Rob Portman couldn't be more proud .
A win for woke brainwashed parents.
