Idaho Senate Republicans Decide Not To Move Forward On Anti-LGBTQ+ Healthcare Ban
Channel: Queer News Tonight
Date: 21/03/2022

On Tuesday, Queer News Tonight reported on an Idaho bill that would make offering gender-affirming care to minors a felony punishable with up to life in jail. Shortly after our broadcast, Senate Republicans announced they would not be moving forward with the bill.  While they made it clear that they did not support gender-affirmation care in minors, in the official press release they wrote, "HB 675 undermines parental rights and allows the government to interfere in parents' medical decision-making authority for their children. We believe in parents’ rights and that the best decisions regarding medical treatment options for children are made by parents, with the benefit of their physician’s advice and expertise."  They also go on to admit that the bill would have restricted medically necessary care for some children.
