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

apnews.com/article/transgender-care-abortion-pornography-kansas-7b4141984334258017da842a3542570c

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: Vatican Denounces Gender Surgery, Surrogacy, and Gender Theory

The Vatican declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, equating them with abortion and euthanasia.

Rejecting 'gender theory,' the Vatican emphasized that people should not tamper with the gender they were created with by God.

The new document underscores that biological sex and the sociocultural role of sex can be distinguished but not separated.

The Vatican's most detailed stance on gender emphasizes the complementarity of biologically male and female sex organs for creating new life.

Two Maine Republican lawmakers faced censure on Thursday for linking the state's deadliest mass shooting to God's anger over a bill expanding abortion access.

Following discussions on a new legislative proposal, Michael Lemelin and Shelley Rudnicki were formally reprimanded by the chamber.

Initial remarks triggered swift bipartisan condemnation in Maine's Democrat-led House of Representatives.

A censure vote by the House resulted in both legislators being barred from speaking or voting until issuing apologies.

Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results

A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.

In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.

Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.

The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.
