Kansas governor vetoes ban on gender-affirming care for minors and 2 anti-abortion bills

Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.

The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.

The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.

The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.

Quick Glance: Clash Over Transgender Youth Rights Escalates in Kansas

The Democratic governor of Kansas rejected a bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for minors, leading to a standoff with the state's Republican supermajority.

The Republican-led legislature is expected to push for an override of the veto. The legislation halted by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly would prohibit hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender reassignment surgery for individuals under 18.

Last year, Kelly vetoed four bills imposing restrictions on transgender individuals, including measures preventing transgender girls and women from participating in female K-12 and college sports teams, and ending legal recognition of transgender identities in the state.

In recent years, an unprecedented number of bills targeting transgender individuals have been introduced in state legislatures. Lawmakers introduced nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills during the 2024 legislative session, as reported by the American Civil Liberties Union. By May 2023, legislators had introduced over 400 such bills, a significant increase from about 150 in 2022.

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has stated that her posts regarding Scotland's new hate crime law are not criminal, as confirmed by Police Scotland.

Despite complaints about her posts, where she referred to trans women as men, Rowling argued that freedom of speech and belief would cease in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex was deemed criminal.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized that people should not be criminalized for stating simple biological facts.

While the law consolidates existing hate crime legislation and introduces a new offense of stirring up hatred against protected characteristics, women have not been granted protection, raising concerns about freedom of speech in Scotland.

American Egg Board forced to respond to Republican conspiracy theory about White House Easter event

independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/white-house-easter-egg-roll-religious-symbols-b2521370.html

Quick Glance: White House Easter Egg Roll Draws Huge Crowd Following Storm Delayed Start

The start of the Easter egg roll at the White House was delayed by 90 minutes due to thunder and lightning, before the event kicked off under gray skies with a large crowd, including many children wearing ponchos or colorful jackets against light rain.

More than 40,000 people, 10,000 more than the previous year, were expected to participate in guiding hard-boiled eggs across the lawn to a finish line. This year's theme of 'EGG-ucation' was led by Jill Biden, a teacher for over 30 years.

President Joe Biden emphasized that Easter serves as a reminder of the power of hope, renewal, sacrifice, and resurrection, primarily focusing on love and grace towards others. He also highlighted the significance of values and blessings that Americans hold.

Guests at the egg roll included thousands of military and veteran families, alongside their caregivers and survivors. Tickets for attendance were allocated to the general public through an online lottery, with entry granted in nine waves spanning until the evening.

Quick Glance: White House Responds to 'Dishonest' Republican Criticism of Biden's Transgender Proclamation on Easter

The White House is pushing back against misleading criticism from top Republicans of President Joe Biden for issuing a proclamation in support of transgender people on Easter.

A spokesman for the president rejected attacks from the House speaker and others claiming Biden's message for the Transgender Day of Visibility contradicts Christianity.

Biden has issued a proclamation marking March 31 as the Transgender Day of Visibility every year since taking office in 2021.

Biden allies are also challenging the attacks and highlighting that the criticism this Easter weekend also involves an egg art contest for the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
