The Democrats are legalizing their war on parents and children to impose their political agenda of transgenderism on families.
In Washington state, a new bill passed by the Democrats will allow the government to hide children from parents who refuse to allow gender transition procedures on their children.
The Epoch Times reported that Senate Bill (SB) 5599 was passed in the Washington State House on April 12 to authorize state agencies to “hide children” who want transgender medical intervention from their parents.
The bill allows state agencies to shelter minors who run away from their parents in pursuit of changing their gender via medical procedures and refuse to share their whereabouts from the parents while allowing the kids access to gender change procedures.
The bill was passed in the Washington state House over the partisan divide so that all the Democrats voted for it and all the Republicans opposed it. The bill had been approved by the Democrat-led state Senate in early March.
As tweeted by Democrat Senator Marko Liias, who sponsored the legislation, the Democrats claim the bill’s purpose is to ensure “trans rights” and “safeguard youth seeking protected health services.”
The text of SB 5599 defines “protected health care services” in terms of gender and reproduction:
“Protected health care services” means gender affirming treatment as defined in RCW 74.09.675 and reproductive health care services as defined in RCW 74.09.875.
However, conservative media, including Fox News, The Epoch Times, and others, highlighted the clause of the bill that gives the youth shelters the authority to keep the information from parents of the children taken in by the shelter:
“If there are compelling reasons not to notify the parent, the shelter or organization must instead notify the department.” – Sec. 2 (b) (i)
Republicans opposing the bill called this policy an act of hiding children from their own parents in the name of providing health services. Republican House member Peter Abbarno commented that the crux of the debate was whether the state should have the right to “essentially hide where the child is.”
Chris Corry, another Republican representative, called such authority with the state “really just a bridge too far for us.”
Advocates of parental rights expressed their concern online over the passage of SB 5599. Danish doctor Anastasia Maria Loupis wrote on Twitter that this policy allows the state to remove people’s children if the parents refuse gender transition treatments.
The tweet by Dr. Loupis received nearly 6 million views and thousands of comments, many expressing deep concern over how such a law can be abused by trans activists to take control of children and attack basic parental rights.
In related news, the video of a U.S. Navy nurse admitting that the Navy has a policy of talking to minor children of employees about transgenderism without parental consent was posted to Twitter and got millions of hits.
A parent in the audience, the one making the video, is heard confronting the speaker over this policy that he says gives medical practitioners more authority over the children than parents.
