Iowa enacts transgender bathroom bill and ban on gender-affirming care for minors
NBCJUL 2023
Republicans are taking the lead in protecting children, and Kim Reynolds is the latest GOP governor to sign concrete legislation to prevent child abuse disguised as "gender-affirming care." Children must be protected from the irreparable harm done to their bodies caused by this woke ideology, and the privacy and safety of all students using public facilities must be preserved. This is common sense governance.
Iowa joins other GOP-led states in their discrimination against transgender people, especially transgender youth. Iowa’s laws withhold necessary gender-affirming care that transgender children need. Trans youth must be protected and allowed the same right to pursue a life of happiness and dignity as anyone else.
