AMAC CEO Urges Ohio Residents - Tell Your State Rep to Stand Up for Children and Override Gov DeWine's Veto of the SAFE Act

Governor DeWine's recent veto of House Bill 68, the Saving Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, has prevented the enactment of important protections for both parents and children against the left's radical transgender agenda. Here are some key reasons why it is essential to override the governor's veto and protect our youth:

1. Informed Decision-Making: The SAFE Act requires informed consent from parents or legal guardians before any medical interventions, such as puberty-blocking drugs or gender-affirming surgeries, are administered to minors. This ensures that parents are actively involved in decisions that can have significant and lasting impacts on their children's lives.
2. Age-Appropriate Assessments: The legislation advocated for age-appropriate assessments by qualified mental health professionals to evaluate the minor's capacity to make such life-altering decisions. This process aimed to safeguard against impulsive choices that adolescents might later regret.
3. Protection Against Irreversible Consequences: The SAFE Act was designed to protect adolescents from irreversible medical interventions that may impact their physical and mental health in the long term. It prioritized the well-being of young individuals as they navigate complex decisions about their identity.
4. Respecting Parental Rights: By requiring parental consent, the legislation respected the rights of parents to guide and support their children through important medical decisions, fostering open communication within families.

We cannot stand idly by while Governor DeWine's veto jeopardizes the rights and well-being of Ohio's adolescents and puts parents' rights on the sideline. It is crucial that we unite as a community to voice our concerns and advocate for the protection of youth rights. Tell your Ohio state representative to override the Governor's veto!
