Texas Republicans Fail to Pass Bills Banning Sex Change Procedures in Children

Texas Republicans Fail to Pass Bills Banning Sex Change Procedures in Children

Governor Abbott and Speaker Phelan prevented three separate bills, which would have prevented sex change drugs and sex change surgery on children, from being voted on by the Texas House.

These bills are dead, HB 1399 by Rep. Krause, SB 1646 by Sen. Perry, and SB 1311 by Sen. Hall.

This is the same thing that happened in the Texas House in 2017 under liberal Republican Speaker Joe Straus, after the Texas Senate had passed SB 6, which would have prevented men from entering women’s bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms. Straus would not bring it up for a vote and it died.

In both instances, Gov. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Patrick, and the Republican leadership have capitulated to the corporations and their lobbyists who support the perverted, transgender pro-homosexual movement.

Protecting children from perverted sex change procedures was a top priority of the Republican Party of Texas and of Conservative Republicans of Texas.

Gov. Abbott and Speaker Phelan should have made it their priority this Texas Legislative Session. Had they done so, these bills would have already been passed.

It is time for a change in Republican leadership across the board.
