WASHINGTON – Heritage Action, a conservative grassroots organization with two million grassroots activists, including thousands of Missourians, released the following statement from Janae Stracke, Vice President of Field Operations, thanking the Missouri Senate for passing SB 49, legislation that would protect children from harm by preventing physicians from performing experimental surgeries and administering cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers.
“Children struggling with gender confusion and dysphoria deserve compassion, not dangerous cross-sex hormones and experimental surgeries. Heritage Action is grateful to Missouri’s Senate leadership and the 18 Senate co-sponsors that debated and passed this common-sense legislation. SB 49 shields Missouri children from irreversible damage by preventing medical providers from performing experimental surgeries and administering dangerous cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers to minors.
Parents across the Show Me State are grateful to Senator Mike Moon for leading on this issue in the Senate. Missourians applaud this legislative leadership and encourage the Missouri House leadership to promptly take this issue up, do the right thing, and protect children from medical experimentation by passing SB 49.”
