Parents and pediatricians. Not Politicians.
From Samantha Chapman and South Dakota Searchlight.
We don’t co-parent with our legislators. Why are they making medical decisions for our kids?
”Like any parent, I’ve spent a lot of time at the doctor’s office over the years. From routine well-baby visits and annual exams to (thankfully fewer) urgent-care situations, I know my way around the clinic. My husband and I have had many questions and great conversations with our doctors regarding the best care for our kiddos.
But you know who’s never been a part of these conversation? Our legislators.
…
This year, there’s a bill that would give children’s medical decisions back to parents. Senate Bill 216 would give parents the authority to make medical decisions on behalf of their children with gender dysphoria.”
