Hospitals Are Backing Away from Sex Change Operations for Children and Missouri Must Keep It That Way
Across the country hospitals are starting to back away from performing sex change operations on children and giving them chemical castration drugs. According to ABC News some of the largest hospital systems in America including Children’s National Hospital in Washington DC and Kaiser Permanente have announced that they are ending or pausing these procedures for minors. Their reason is clear. The legal and ethical risks are too high and the science is too weak to justify experimenting on children.
Even the article admits that many of these treatments are considered “experimental” by federal health officials and that several European nations have already pulled back after reviewing the evidence. Sweden Finland and the United Kingdom all concluded that the risks of these procedures outweigh any supposed benefits. When even these countries recognize the harm it should be a wake up call for America.
The push for sex change operations and chemical castration for children has been built on the false promise that they will improve mental health. That argument is not medicine. It is ideology. The idea that we should mutilate healthy bodies to treat emotional pain is a tragic shift away from reality. No child should ever be told that the only way to feel whole is to destroy the body God gave them.
Here in Missouri we have the opportunity to lead with clarity and conviction. Passing Amendment 3 will make sure that our hospitals never face pressure from activist groups or federal bureaucrats to perform sex change surgeries or provide chemical castration drugs to children. It will protect doctors nurses and parents from being forced into practices that violate conscience and common sense. It will safeguard Missouri hospitals from lawsuits and political bullying by making it clear that our state stands for protecting life and protecting children.
Amendment 3 will draw a clear line. Missouri’s hospitals will be places of healing not harm. Our laws will reflect truth not ideology. And our children will be protected from procedures that leave them sterile scarred and broken.
The tide is turning. Even liberal institutions are backing away because they know the truth is catching up. Missouri must continue to stand strong and lead the nation by passing Amendment 3 to protect every child in our state from this dangerous agenda.
