Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is not going to allow one lone judge to dictate whether the children of Ohio are protected from \u201ctransgender\u201d surgeries and hormones, he shared in an interview with The Daily Signal.\nYost asked the state\u2019s Supreme Court to intervene after Judge Michael Holbrook issued\xa0a temporary restraining order for House Bill 68, the\xa0Saving Ohio Adolescents From Experimentation, or SAFE, Act, on Tuesday.\nThat law bars physicians from performing \u201ctransgender reassignment\u201d surgeries\xa0on children and from prescribing cross-sex hormones or drugs to block children\u2019s puberty. It also would allow students to sue if they are deprived of a fair playing field in sports due to transgender activism (such as a boy who \u201cidentifies\u201d as a girl playing on a girls\u2019 volleyball team) and would protect parents\u2019 rights to raise their children according to their biological sex.\nA supermajority of Republican lawmakers\xa0voted to override\xa0Gov. Mike DeWine\u2019s controversial veto of the bill in January, and before Holbrook blocked it, it was scheduled to go into effect on April 24.\nOn Monday, Yost, the Medical Board of Ohio, and the state of Ohio filed an emergency motion for a writ of prohibition, asking that Holbrook be ordered to modify his temporary restraining order to \u201ccomply with Ohio statutory and procedural limitations.\u201d\nThe Ohio attorney general discussed the move and what he hopes will ensue from here in an interview with The Daily Signal.\nEnjoy the show!\n Hosted on Acast.
