Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves is confirming he plans to sign a bill to ban gender-affirming care for anyone younger than 18
House Bill 1125 won final approval Tuesday in the Republican-controlled Mississippi Senate, and it will be sent in the coming days to Reeves, a Republican who is running for reelection.
“Mississippi lawmakers are insisting that they know what’s best for transgender youth and ignoring the recommendations of every major medical association," Matar said."Patients, along with their health care providers — not politicians –- should decide what medical care is in the best interest of a patient.
The Senate rejected an amendment by Democratic Sen. Rod Hickman of Macon, which specified that mental health care would remain available for transgender people younger than 18. Fillingane said the bill would not prohibit such care.“This is not because they have gone through particular surgeries or procedures,” Hickman said. “This is because they live in a society that has continually rejected them.
Heritage Action, a national group affiliated with the Heritage Foundation in Washington, praised passage of the bill.
