In an incredibly disappointing and disturbing move, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed a law on Friday that would have banned so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors. That ran contrary to states like Florida and Texas, which have already moved to protect children from medications and procedures that range from sterilization to mutilation.
With Republicans like DeWine, who needs Democrats? Not that anyone should have expected anything different. We are talking about the same guy who embraced insane COVID-19 mitigation measures well into Joe Biden’s presidential term.
So what was DeWine’s excuse this time around for showing his spine is made of soft serve? He claimed that while he had concerns about “gender-affirming care” for minors, we simply needed more “longitudinal studies” before taking action against it.
Governor DeWine is calling for “longitudinal studies.” We have that….
