'Republican' Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio stunned state Republicans on Friday, vetoing a bill that would ban doctors from performing sex-changes on children, and would bar biological males from competing in women's sports.

The bill, introduced by state Rep. Gary Click (R) was overwhelmingly approved by the Ohio House of Representatives and the state Senate earlier this month, according to the Daily Caller, which notes that DeWine explained his decision during a press conference as based on having discussions with families of children who would be dead without "gender-affirming care."

Hours before the deadline, DeWine vetoed the bill.

"Were I to sign House Bill 68 … Ohio would be saying that the government knows better what is medically best for the child than the two people who love that child the most, the parents," said DeWine, apparently unaware that the same government had no problem 'knowing better' than countless doctors who wanted to prescribe Ivermectin during the pandemic. "Now, while there are rare times in the law in other circumstances, where the state overrules the medical decisions made by their parents, I can think of no example, where this is done not only against the decision of the parents but also against the medical judgment of the treating physician and against the judgment of the treating team of medical experts. Therefore, I cannot sign this bill as it is currently written."

Sure Mike, doctors with a vested interest in chopping off a confused child's breasts are clearly level-headed arbiters.
