Time Text
There being 92 hours and 48 days, SB 1-4 has passed the third reading.
How do you feel about SB 14 passing tonight?
Oh my goodness.
Well, I mean, third time's the charm, so we're very excited to see this go through.
And of course, to, I mean, just a major shout out to Representative Sean Teary for her very objective, I would say, analysis of what was brought to her.
You know, the irreparable damage that's done with the medication and the surgeries.
So I think this is going to be a necessary step moving forward for Texas kids.
Jill Glover was kind of our subcommittee chair for, you know, the gender modification of children and banning that practice, which is what we saw today.
So kind of seeing all of that come to fruition was pretty good.
Kids shouldn't be doing these things to their bodies.
I mean, when they're 18, they're adults.
If they want to transition, they're going to transition.
They're not going to get in their way when they turn 18. We've seen with the side effects of these pills and how very easily influenced kids are and how their personalities change as they go from middle school to junior high to high school.
Kids have basis.
And so they may like one thing one month, they may like another thing another month.
You should give the kids a chance to grow.
Right.
That's about permanent operation.
I thought I was going to go down a certain career path and I heard that it's totally different.
Life changes.
You never know really where you're going to end up.
We're so pleased with the outcome today.
I know God is good.
He takes care of the kids.
We're here to support the kids.
It's the right thing.
Kids can't even get a tattoo under 18. And we're wanting to mutilate them.
No thank you.
I am very proud that we are saving Texas kids.
Just like some of the representatives were saying, Age limits on tattoos, on getting your tanning done, buying drugs, not drugs, but cigarettes, and different things like that.
We have to set limits on when a child can modify their own body, and that is when they're 18 years old, when they're legally an adult.
I am thrilled.
For two sessions now, we have absolutely been working so hard to save Texas kids.
And we are thrilled that Dr. Oliverson and Senator Campbell have passed a wonderful bill.
We were thrilled as the Republican Party of Texas to support that bill.
And so tonight is a real success.
I'm very excited.
I was here last session trying to fight against Gender mutilation, gender modification.
So it's just really nice to see that Texas really does care about our kids.
And we want the best for our kids.
And we're not saying that you can't get gender modification at all when you turn 18. You can do whatever you want.
You're an adult.
But what we want to do is protect our children.
And so today is a great day for the state of Texas.
But it's an amazing day for the children of Texas.
So we're excited.
Kids are still developing.
It's great to see that it's being passed.
I think that it's important that they're able to make a well-informed decision, and they can do that when they're a bit older.
There's a reason why we make kids wait before they're allowed to drink, before they're allowed to enlist for the Army.
So it's important that we make them wait for things that can make a big change in their lives as well.
I think it's a good thing that this was passed.
I think, yeah, there are a lot of things you can't do when you're below the age of 18. You can't smoke, you can't drink, you can't enlist in the army.
Why would we allow you to make such a big decision that could be forever impacting?
And there are people that have gone through this and they regret this afterwards.
So I think that it's important that we protect our youth.
I'm very happy.
I've been here all day since 8 a.m. just praying for peace and for the space that the Holy Spirit would just...
Guide the legislators and keep everybody safe.
I'm really happy that we're protecting kids in Texas and giving people a chance to really work through everything that they have going on in life until they're 18 years old to make really big life-changing decisions that they can't ever turn around.
So, praise Jesus.
I'm very happy with you.
Just seeing God's hand move and now we can protect our kids.
I'm just happy about it.
That's it.
Awesome.
And what happens next?
What happens to the bill now?
Third reading.
Third reading.
And then on to the governor.
Hopefully it'll pass third reading.
