Nebraska State Senator Cavanaugh Protests Bill Banning “Sex-Change” Procedures for Minors

Overview

Democratic state senator Machaela Cavanaugh protested the passage of Legislative Bill 574, which bans “sex-change” procedures for minors under the age of 19. The bill also includes an amendment prohibiting abortion after 12 weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Republican Gov. Jim Pillen is expected to sign LB 574 into law at the Nebraska State Capitol on Monday.

Cavanaugh’s Protest

In protesting the bill, Cavanaugh championed “sex-change” surgery for children and repeatedly pounded the lectern while howling her support for children undergoing genital mutilation, receiving hormone therapies, and taking puberty blockers to change their gender. Numerous Twitter users mocked and rebuked Cavanaugh’s unhinged histrionics.

Bill Details

LB 574 blocks children under the age of 19 from undergoing “sex-change” surgeries and may restrict minors from taking puberty blockers and hormone therapies. The specifics of those restrictions will be determined by the state medical officer. LB 574 also does not ban the vast majority of abortions in Nebraska, as state data shows 86 percent of abortions occur before 12 weeks. Abortion enthusiasts and militant transgender activists disingenuously claim the bill oppresses people suffering from gender dysphoria or women who want to terminate their pregnancies.
