Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine Vetoes Bill Protecting Kids from Transgender Experimentation, Trans Participation in Girls' Sports
[Breitbart] Ohio’s Republican Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed a bill on Dec. 29 that would protect children from dangerous and permanent transgender medical procedures and ban male-born transgender athletes from playing as females in girls’ and women’s sports.

The state legislature passed the Enact Ohio Saving Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act (HB 68) this month.

With the veto, the Republican governor broke from his own party, which overwhelmingly supported the measure. While the GOP-led legislature does have enough GOP seats to override DeWine’s veto, it is not known when or if this might occur, the Associated Press reported.

DeWine showed that he accepted the left’s hysterical claims that opposition to transgenderism causes trans kids to commit suicide.

The governor said he made his veto decision after speaking to medical providers and added, “I’ve also listened to youth and parents. Parents who have told me if not for this treatment, their child would be dead.”

DeWine said, “The consequences of this bill could not be more profound. Ohio would be saying the state, the government, knows better than the two people who love that child the most, the parents.”

DeWine went even further and noted that he is directing his administration to craft rules that would accede to the transgender lobby and try to head off any meddling by the legislature. He also implored the legislature to join him in affirming radical transgenderism for children.

“I invite members of the general assembly to meet with us to collaborate, to work with us,” he said.

“What we have found is there needs to be a process,” DeWine exclaimed while insisting he is hewing to the side of parents who want to transgender their children. “Ultimately, my decision here was protecting life, the life of these children.”

HB 68 was passed in the state House with a party-line 64-28 vote and in the Senate by 24-8. Only one Republican crossed the aisle to vote with the Democrats, GOP Sen. Nathan Manning.

DeWine has been an avowed opponent of protecting women’s sports from incursions of male-born athletes who claim to be transgender females.

President of the American Principles Project (APP), Terry Schilling, blasted DeWine in a statement released after the gov’s veto.

Women’s sports activist Riley Gaines also excoriated DeWine on her X account, calling him a coward and saying he supports “men in women’s sports and locker rooms & children being chemically and surgically castrated.”

And here I thought I've heard the most ridiculous excuses imaginable from "Pro-Palestinians"*.

*They're not actually. They just anti-Israel. Anybody who really cares about "Palestinians" would work to abolish UNWRA & force Arab states to absorb them.

John Kasich. He ran for president in 2000 and 2016. Ohio historically has supported Republicans who are fiscally conservative and socially moderate. Since 1990 we’ve elected George Voinovich, Bob Taft, John Kasich, and Mike DeWine, all of whom served the maximum two terms permitted by law.
