WASHINGTON—Heritage Action, a conservative organization with 2.5 million grassroots activists nationwide, including thousands of Kansans, commends the Kansas Legislature for fighting back against radical gender ideology by passing SB 63, legislation that restricts state funds from being used for experimental surgeries, cross-sex hormones for children and prohibits experimental surgeries altogether.
Former Kansas Assistant Secretary of State and Heritage Action Director of State Advocacy Catherine Gunsalus released the following statement praising the effort:
“Kansans do not want to see their tax dollars going toward dangerous procedures and cross-sex hormones that irreparably harm their children. By passing SB 63, the Kansas Legislature has made its support for protecting children from radical gender ideology loud and clear.
“Heritage Action applauds Kansas lawmakers’ continued effort to uphold common sense and defend children from medical malpractice in the name of social activism. We urge Governor Kelly to sign this important legislation and protect children in the Sunflower State.”
Polling shows broad, bipartisan support for the legislation in states across the country. More than 65% of Americans oppose access to puberty-blocking medication for children, and almost 70% of Americans do not believe male athletes should be allowed to compete against girls and women.
