Executive Order 2024-01D, The SAFE Act prohibits doctors from performing sex reassignment surgery on minors. But protecting children is even more important.
The law prohibits prescribing harmful cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers to a minor “for the purpose of assisting the minor's sexual reassignment” and aiding and abetting such mutilation or prescription. It is forbidden to do so.
Blaze News previously noted that the SAFE Act also prohibits courts from denying or restricting parental rights and responsibilities or parenting time based on decisions:
- “Refer to and raise the child in a manner consistent with the child's biological sex.”
- “I do not consent to my child receiving gender transition services.”or
- Refuse to consent to a child receiving counseling or other mental health services for the purpose of affirming his or her sex or gender identity if the child's gender or gender identity does not correspond to his or her biological sex. do.”

“The Ohio Senate deserves commendation today for its commitment to overriding the governor’s veto of House Bill 68 and protecting women and children.”

Click graciously accepted the win, suggesting DeWine “acted from the heart.”
“I still feel that given more time and opportunity, the governor could have shared our understanding on this important issue,” Click continued. “Nevertheless, he did what he thought was right and what he had to do. But Congress must do what he thinks is right, what he should do, to save lives, protect medical ethics, and reaffirm women's rights. I felt just as strongly, if not more so, that the 68 was essential.”
“Ohioans clearly demanded that Congress pass the law, and we did just that. The system worked,” Click added.
Ahead of the defeat, Ohio Senate Republicans cited recent polling showing the public supports bills such as HB 68.

claimed “Lawmakers are putting their own political aspirations ahead of protecting children, protecting women, or addressing the many pressing issues that actually face Ohioans,” Wednesday's statement said. They have made it clear that they are interested in protecting them.”
The Human Rights Campaign, a huge LGBT lobbying group, called the vote “shameful.”

“In order to appease leaders with a MAGA agenda, these legislators have abdicated their responsibility to do what's right for the Ohioans they represent, and they've given up on innocent children,” HRC campaign chair Kelly Robinson said in a statement. “I cast my vote knowing full well that it would cause harm.”
While various activists have accused Republican lawmakers of putting deranged children at risk, it appears the treatment they just banned poses a real danger.
Blaze News previously reported that during a September 2022 educational session conducted by the World Association of Transgender Health Professionals, prominent doctors said that puberty blockers can cause infertility, bone loss, and brain developmental disorders among minors.
