GOP senator to propose ban on gender transition treatment for minors
Fox News
Republican Sen. Roger Marshall is introducing a bill, shared exclusively with Fox News Digital, to prevent gender-related medical treatment on minors.
"Americans resoundingly rejected the Left’s dangerous transgender agenda. Let’s call it exactly what it is: child abuse," said Marshall. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.
Marshall is expected to introduce the bill on Capitol Hill on Wednesday: "The days of demented doctors and activists getting rich off of mutilating, sterilizing, and castrating children are over."
The STOP Act, if passed, would call on Health and Human Services (HHS) to impose a civil penalty of at least $100,000 on those "providing transgender mutilation services and treatments" for minors. Secretary Xavier Becerra currently heads HHS under President Biden. However, he will soon be succeeded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.
