Subject: Legislative Talking Point
All,
I'd like to bounce a potential talking point off of all you and hear your feedback. I've attached a screenshot of the typical turmoil in the homes of these kids with gender confusion issues.
My talking point is, the state stepping in and creating regulatory law via the legislators such as Rep. Deutsch and others is actually taking the heat off of the parents to allow these
dangerous medical interventions for kids. This type of legislation essentially shifts the responsibility to the person wanting the treatment to when they become of legal age in their state to
get it. Once passed, it's no longer their parents saying no, it's the state.
For example, we don't have kids and families in turmoil because children can't drink, that's because it's not their parents stopping them from drinking, it's a state law.
Am I making sense here?
Because with these unscrupulous medical providers on standby to give these harmful drugs to children as soon as a parent says yes, it's the uncooperative parents that are taking the heat
whenever they say no. Peers getting the treatment only worsens this scenario.
For the record, I'm not just bringing this up as a talking point, I believe in what I'm saying here based on what I see online and in the news.
Blessings,
James
