Maine Battles Over ‘Transgender’ Medical Procedures and Parental Rights

The Maine legislature is considering radical legislation that threatens parental rights by giving courts “temporary emergency jurisdiction” of minors who seek “transgender” medical interventions – against their parents’ wishes.

These medical interventions include puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries that permanently damage the minds and bodies of children and teens.

At least 12 states have such “shield” or “refugee” laws, as the Movement Advancement Project, an LGBT activist group, euphemistically calls them. In reality, these states are unlawfully undermining the right of parents to provide for the care, upbringing and education of their children.
