Controversial Bills Impacting Transgender Rights Spark Debate in Midwest States
TL;DR
Iowa Governor Reynolds plans to sign two bills impacting transgender children in the state, one restricting which bathrooms they can use and the other banning gender transition procedures for those under 18. Reynolds believes the bills are necessary to protect children, citing inconclusive science on the long-term effects of such procedures. She also discussed a push for over-the-counter birth control and gave her opinion on the possible indictment of former President Donald Trump.
