Political Quotes

“I thank my friend, the gentleman from Louisiana, for that very heartfelt time recognizing Mr. Letlow and his family. Our hearts are with them. I now move on to another topic that is also very, very important to all of us and to America, and it deals with a bill that will be on the floor this week. It is shamefully called the Equality Act, but it shreds the principles of protecting our children. In fact, under this bill, children, beginning with the womb, will be targeted and victimized. Under this bill, children in the classroom will be bombarded with unscientific, confusing materials questioning the reality of their biological sex. Under this bill, children struggling with gender dysphoria will be pushed toward medical treatments and even surgical procedures, which will disrupt their natural development and may leave them sterile and physically altered for life. Under this bill, children's privacy will be violated when locker rooms, restrooms, and homeless shelters will no longer be single sex. Under this bill, parents may face custody battles for making healthy, wholesome choices for their children's health. This scenario was not hypothetical for the Ohio couple who lost custody of their daughter for not affirming hormonal treatments. Under this bill, foster care and adoption agencies will be forced to shutter. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. The so-called Equality Act jeopardizes the well-being of our children.…”
