House Passes Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Bill Targeting Gender Transition Procedures For Minors

By Sudiksha Kochi | The Hill

The House passed a bill Wednesday sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) that would criminalize gender-affirming procedures and medical care for minors.

Greene had secured a deal with leadership to bring her bill to the floor in exchange for her support of a rule advancing the National Defense Authorization Act last week.

It passed 216-211. Three Democrats — Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Don Davis (D-N.C.) and Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas) — voted with most Republicans in favor and four Republicans — Reps. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), Gabe Evans (R-Colo.) and Mike Kennedy (R-Utah) — voted with most Democrats against it.

“Children are NOT experiments. No more drugs. No more surgeries. No more permanent harm. We need to let kids grow up without manipulation from adults to make life altering decisions! Congress must protect America’s children!!!” Greene wrote on social platform X ahead of the vote.
