DISPATCHES FROM WEIMAR AMERICA: Gov. Mike DeWine Vetoes Bill Protecting Kids From ‘Gender-Affirming Care.’
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed a bill to protect minors from experimental transgender medical interventions that are euphemistically referred to as “gender-affirming care.”
DeWine, a Republican, framed his veto of House Bill 68 on Friday as an effort to bring consensus on a divisive issue and to avoid having the government decide what medical decisions are best for children.
“Were House Bill 68 to become law, Ohio would be saying that the state, that the government, knows better what is best for a child than the two people who love that child the most, the parents,” DeWine said.
And yet, like the late John McCain, his fellow RINO, nothing DeWine will do will ever please the friends he desires on the left: Mike DeWine Seemed Like One of the Few Republicans Serious About Fighting COVID. He’s Not.
UPDATE: Why did Ohio voters have such a sense of Stockholm Syndrome?
