Let Kids Be Kids - GOOD NEWS from Arkansas!

 
Just today, the Arkansas legislature succeeded in easily overriding
Governor Asa Hutchinson's veto of a critical bill to protect the
state's children. The bill was authored by Senator Alan Clark
and Representative Robin Lundstrum, a Christian legislator who is an
alumna of Family Policy Foundation's Statesmen
Academy-our sister foundation's premier training
program for Christian elected leaders.

Because the legislature succeeded in overriding the veto, Arkansas
became the first state in the nation with the SAFE Act, a law that
prohibits anyone from performing sex-change interventions on children.
The law passed with bipartisan support.

The SAFE Act makes clear that the drugs used in these interventions
are being used off-label and are entirely experimental. What's
worse, the cross-sex hormones that are used leave children sterile,
and the surgeries remove children's healthy breasts and/or
healthy genitalia.

In Arkansas, as in most states, children are not permitted to work in
mines, get tattoos, or purchase alcohol or drugs like NyQuil-all
for their own protection. Rep. Lundstrum and Sen. Clark simply
recognized that if a tattoo is potentially harmful for a child, then
certainly sterilizing children or surgically removing their healthy
body parts is harmful as well-regardless of whether these
procedures are politically popular.

The SAFE Act is wonderful news for Arkansas's children! But, it
shouldn't stop there. Other states are considering similar laws,
including in South Carolina where the bill is sponsored by a Democrat.
We say CONGRATULATIONS to Rep. Lundstrum, Sen. Clark, and our good
friends at Family Council in Little Rock! And we thank those of you in
Arkansas who responded to our alerts and sent thousands of messages to
Arkansas legislators. We pray other states follow your state's
bold lead in protecting their own children.

movement. Arkansas's Rep. Lundstrum already signed and then led
the way to passing the nation's first SAFE Act!

The Promise unites parents, concerned citizens, and lawmakers who
agree that protecting our children's minds, bodies, and
hearts-especially their relationships with their
parents-should be a top priority. Our children deserve
protection, not politics and experimentation. You can sign the Promise
and share it on social media with others as well.

Thank you, Arkansas, for leading the way in protecting your
state's children! But the movement can't stop there.
