Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) CEO Rebecca Weber joins both Heritage Action and the Family Research Council in strongly recommending that Ohio Governor DeWine not veto H.B. 68, called the Saving Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, which is aimed at protecting Ohio minors from gender-transition procedures or from being diagnosed or subjected to gender transition counseling without the consent of at least one parent, legal custodian, or guardian. It also protects parents from losing custody over this issue.
CEO Weber stated, "I fully agree with the statements of my colleagues at Heritage Action and the Family Research Council that vetoing this legislation will have devastating consequences for Ohio's children, unless the legislature moves to override. We need to protect our vulnerable children from being induced to undergoing such procedures, which have permanent effect – and increasingly lifelong sadness, negative side effects, and regret, as a result. Parents have a responsibility to assure the well-being of their children and protect them from such pressures and actions. Sadly, the suicide rates of people who have undergone such procedures is reportedly at a much higher rate than the rest of the population."
Weber continued, “If indeed the Governor vetoes this legislation, it is an unconscionable act. Hopefully, the Ohio legislature will override his veto.”
