Lee Introduces Ban on Federal Funding for Child Mutilation Studies

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced legislation to prohibit the use of federal funds for any research or publication involving gender transitions for minors. The Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act will shield American children from permanent medical and psychological damage by codifying President Trump’s agenda to keep tax dollars from child mutilation. The bill is cosponsored by Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), James Lankford (R-OK), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and is endorsed by Students for Life Action and the American Principles Project.
