The ACLU of Kansas stands strongly opposed to SB233 and SB 12 and urges you to not vote this bill out of committee. Not only do SB223 and SB 12 violate the constitutional rights of Kansas children, young adults, their parents, and their doctors—both pose an unprecedented threat to Kansas parents and families. By attempting to intrude on all gender-affirming healthcare for Kansans under 21 years old, SB 233 and SB 12 far exceed the appropriate government regulation of medicine and attack the only evidence-based healthcare options available to young Kansans experiencing gender dysphoria.
