LD1735Maine also effectively ignores parental rights in every other state by banning officials from reuniting runaway children with out-of-state families who are allegedly seeking disruptive treatment. It will be.
The bill's interstate implications could ultimately set the stage for a Supreme Court battle, but Democratic opponents
Congresswoman Laurie Osher's so-called “Gender-affirming Health Care Protection Act” worries that large numbers of children will be transformed and trafficked in the meantime – all ostensibly by left-wing ideologues, predators, pharmacists, It is for the benefit of the aspiring surgeon.
Alvin Louie, president of parent advocacy group Courage is a Habit, told Blaze News this week that there is still hope to stop LD1735 from moving forward.
Louis said the Democratic-controlled state House and Senate could pass the bill if given the chance, even if organizations like the World Health Organization, which are also obsessed with LGBT ideology, are starting to pass legislation. suggested that it was high.
openly admit There is a lack of evidence to support so-called gender-affirming care for children and adolescents.
However, the Judiciary Committee must first decide to move forward with LD 1735.
This hearing was originally scheduled for last week but has now been rescheduled. Thursday 3pm.
“We blocked this bill in Maine this time last year, and they quietly tried to sneak it in again this year. They almost got it on us,” Louie said. . “And we brought a lot of heat.”
Louie credits his organization with helping with the attention it brought to LD 1735 last week and the resulting backlash that prompted the hearing delay. Officials said the hearing was postponed due to bad weather.
“The first reason is [for the delay] You know, online, in public and in politics, seven days is an eternity. They hope at least 1,000 stories will distract people before this issue becomes popular again,” Lui said. Get emails from these transgender cults and make it look like you're receiving support from places like EqualityMaine, the most extreme transgender cult organization. ”
While the bill's supporters may be in an advantageous position this week, so are its opponents.
“Courage is a Habit” conservatives and concerned parents in the state have previously faced difficulties when trying to get the word out. However, this delay gave them sufficient runway to launch a concerted pressure campaign.
The child custody organization urges Americans in and outside of Maine to contact committee members State Sen. Eric Blakey (R), State Sen. Anne Carney (D), State Sen. Donna Bailey (D) and Matt Moonen. Representatives Amy Coons (D), Adam Lee (D), Stephen Moriarty (D), and Erin Sheehan (D) – countless others citing “social contagion” He opposes supporting legislation that could separate children from their parents.

LD 1735 is also similar
law Executive orders have also been issued in several other states. characteristic As a “kidnapping” bill. Louis considers LD 1735 a “transgender trafficking bill.”
In addition to forcing the confused children into the foster care system and the parents' inability to rescue them, Louie also faces strangers trying to ship the children to Maine for irreversible surgery; He suggested it could lead to interstate human trafficking by strangers who want to kidnap. Children were collected under the pretext of transporting them to Maine for such an intervention.
“Schools are already telling these kids that their parents are dangerous and abusive, that their parents 'don't love you, don't see the real you and are trying to hurt you,'” Louis said. said. . “Children are already taught to see other people as family, so how easy it is for sex traffickers to approach girls at 14, 15, 16, 13 and say, Think: “I see you as you are.''
“This bill is a sex trafficker's dream come true,” Louis added.
Louis suggested that in the absence of criticism or pressure, Democratic committee members might reflexively support LD 1735. Because it aligns with what he considers the Democratic Party's animating theorems: critical race theory and queer theory. But he has hinted that Democrats are unlikely to co-sign a human trafficking bill so automatically and uncritically in the face of a huge public outcry, and thus have gained critical mass in an ongoing pressure campaign. He said he was looking forward to it.
