Minnesota Bill HF146 is quickly moving through the Minnesota House. Keep in mind that transgender individuals are already protected from discrimination under Minnesota’s Human Rights, and individuals can seek gender-affirming care in MN. However, it requires parental consent. Questions and concerns we have: How does this affect our mentally vulnerable populations? Are there any protections against them being manipulated? Does this law override guardianship laws? How does this law intersect with Minnesota’s diverse cultures, religions, and immigrant populations? Does this force cultural assimilation? What are the limits? Anything goes? Is it considered not providing gender affirming care if a parent has valid concerns over the side effects of a particular procedure? What if a family has medical contraindications to a specific medication? Is there really no age limit? Can a 12 year old make permanent body modifications? 5 year old? Is it a conflict of interest to allow doctors to petition the courts when they profit from the care they are advocating for? How does this law affect custody proceedings? Does this pave a way for a noncustodial (potentially unfit or abusive) parent or adult to legally kidnap a minor? ...... Many concerned citizens have reached out and asked us to inform our followers that the bill will be heard on the House floor this Thursday, March 23rd @ 3:30pm. Many concerned families will be gathering outside the House chambers in opposition of the bill, starting at 2:30. As always, please stay kind and stay on the topic of the bill. (Also please be respectful of the wedding that will take place in the rotunda at 4:15.)

MN American Academy of Pediatrics Conference Call. Topic: Removing Non-Medical Exemptions in Minnesota.

Walz speaking to the MN Medical Association in 2019.

Hear Governor Walz response when asked if he'll mandate covid vaccines for children.

House Session Vaccine Mandate Amendments to bill SF2876 Last week, Representative Kurt Daudt proposed two amendments to a human services waiver bill. Each amendment attempted to prohibit mandates using different methods. This post isn't about the bill or even the amendments proposed. It's about what Representative Daudt did. As soon as Daudt brought forth each amendment, a Democrat member called a point of order. In basic terms, they ruled the amendments as off topic so they don't vote on them. Daudt was able to use his extensive knowledge of the rules to advocate for health freedom for a very long time. Most importantly, he called out the Democrats for refusing to debate this topic and using procedures to avoid publicly voting on it. So a HUGE thank you to Representative Daudt for standing up for health freedom so passionately. We agree that legislators should vote on this topic, so it's on public record which legislators are for and which are against health freedom. Their constituents deserve to know who they are voting for. If you'd like to watch the entire debate, it begins at 32 minutes: https://youtu.be/eWtrpArDQi8
