SF4097 mandates that all health plans provide coverage for “gender-affirming care,” with certain exceptions.
The House passed SF4097 on May 17, 2024, by a vote of 70 to 58. We have assigned pluses to the nays because no person has the right to receive or perform “gender-affirming” sex mutilation, let alone force someone else to pay for it. This grotesque practice not only violates the “unalienable” right to life and limb, but absurdly attempts to erase biological sex with fictional “gender identity” constructs. According to the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, every State has a duty to defend the basic humanity of its citizens, each of whom is born distinctly male or female, and, as the Declaration of Independence affirms, created equally in the image of God.
