A Maine judiciary committee will decide on Wednesday morning whether a bill permitting minors to travel to the state to seek sex changes and granting the state custody over children will move to the floor.
LD1735, also called An Act to Safeguard Gender-affirming Health Care, was introduced to the House of Representatives in the state in April of 2023 by Rep. Laurie Osher of Orono, and is cosponsored by Reps Erin Sheehan of Biddeford, Nina Milliken of Blue Hill, Suzanne Salisbury of Westbrook, Mark Worth of Ellsworth, and Rep. Matt Moonen of Portland as well as Senator Anne Carney of Cumberland.
Courage is a Habit, a group fighting for parental rights in states across the nation, is leading an effort to stop this bill. With a deadline of 10 pm on Tuesday, the group urges the public to contact members of the state judiciary committee to voice their concerns.
Alvin Lui, president of Courage is a Habit, told The Post Millennial that people who do not live in Maine should contact the committee members as well as Maine residents as the bill “affects everybody’s parental rights.”
Sample emails provided by the group tell the members that “There is a lack of long-term studies on the benefits of ‘gender-affirming care,’ which could result in the life-long sterilization and surgical mutilation of children,” “With lawsuits against hospitals and schools on the rise in 2023, the public is becoming more aware of the potential risks associated with this bill,” and “Protecting parental rights and the well-being of children should be our top priority. I urge you to vote “ought not to pass” on LD 1735.”
