White House’s Latest Threats Expose Depravity That Can Not Stand – Opinion

If you were in a coma for the last decade and suddenly woke up, there’s likely nothing that would shock you more than how quickly radical transgender ideology has overtaken society.

Imagine hearing arguments in 2012 that children should not only be able to “choose” their “gender,” but that they have a civil right to physically mutilate themselves in response. Yet, that’s exactly where we are. As RedState has reported recently, calls for “gender-affirming care” have moved out of the fringe and firmly into mainstream Democrat politics.

But things are now shifting into an even more dangerous place, if one can even imagine that’s possible. While Republican-led states are seeking to limit the physical abuse of children through the use of “gender-affirming” surgeries which cut off the genitalia or breasts of minors, the White House is now threatening legal action in response.

“Today, in Alabama, instead of focusing on critical kitchen table issues like the economy, Covid or addressing the country’s mental health crisis, Republican lawmakers are currently debating legislation that, among many things, would target trans youths with tactics that threatens to put pediatricians in prison if they provide medically necessary life-saving health care for the kids they serve”…

…”But Alabama’s lawmakers and other legislators who are contemplating these discriminatory bills have been put on notice by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services that laws and policies preventing care that health care professionals recommend for transgender minors may violate the Constitution and the federal law.”

This is what it means. Yes, it’s couched as the targeting of anti-child abuse laws in states like Texas and Alabama, which is crazy enough on its own. Any state can ban certain medical procedures that it finds to be abusive and/or demonstratively dangerous. The implications go far beyond this.

If it is somehow illegal for a state to say that children can’t be given “gender-affirming care,” specifically in regards to the mutilation of their bodies, because those children have a “civil right” to such care, that means that parents who refuse to take such steps can be held liable as well. Recall that several years ago in Texas, we witnessed a high-profile case involving a father who not only lost custody of his son but was forced to help pay for the “transition.” The legal system is not going to protect parents as these precedents become more and more common.

It is impossible for this kind of thing to continue. Republicans were unable to gain ground in the last few decades due to their belief that they can float above all the noise and avoid the battle for culture. But we’ve now moved past disagreements about adult behavior. We are talking here about children, and the Democrat establishment now wholesale endorses the destruction of their bodies not only in the womb but also throughout adolescence.

Remember when some Republicans argued that we must get rid of Donald Trump because he broke “norms and traditions.” Meanwhile, the White House is proclaiming it possibly illegal to not mutilate kids based on childhood confusion. Do you find this normal? Elections do have consequences, and there’s a big one coming up in November. More importantly, right-thinking citizens (i.e. People who are against child abuse have the opportunity in 2024, perhaps more importantly, to take back this ground and strengthen the state’s ability to protect children.

If there’s one issue that animates voters for the next three years of elections, this should be this. Never lose sight of the important things. Don’t let them down. They must pay at the poll box.
