Get your FUCKING CHURCH out of my government!!!

An Oklahoma senate bill filed late Wednesday would prevent a person under the age of 26 from accessing gender-affirming health care, the latest sign that conservatives are seeking to block the procedure for not only children, but people well into adulthood.

The bill filed ahead of the legislature’s February start would bar health care providers in Oklahoma from administering or recommending gender-affirming medical care including puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries for patients younger than 26 years old, punishable by an unclassified felony conviction and the possible revocation of their medical license for “unprofessional conduct.”

The measure would also prohibit public funds from being used to either “directly or indirectly” provide gender-affirming health care to an individual younger than 26 and bar the state Medicaid program from covering procedures related to a person’s gender transition.

The legislation being introduced by Oklahoma GOP state Sen. David Bullard, who last year authored a new state law that prohibits transgender youth from using school restrooms or locker rooms consistent with their gender identity. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit on behalf of three transgender students against that law.

These people have no idea what Jesus actually told them to do protect children.

Millstone act my ass.

keeps working Bible passages into the discussions during county meetings specifically as an oppositional/defiant/petulant act because he's been told he isn't allowed to personally start the meetings with his own choice of Bible reading every damn time.

She wanted to counter it by bringing other religious readings and prayers into it to balance things out. I told her she should just use the obscene and embarrassing parts of the Bible instead.

Stopping them through the courts will be difficult with the Supreme Court zealots making religious decisions.

And since basically nothing's been done to reverse that, there'll be more, targeting other groups the GOP doesn't like and doesn't want to understand - or help.
