The South Carolina Senate voted 28-8 Thursday to protect minors from gender transition procedures by passing the Help Not Harm bill (H. 4624). The legislation passed despite Democratic efforts to derail the bill, and it now heads to the statehouse. The legislation "protects our culture and our society, not just protecting them from harm, but a complete violation of who they are, their identity," Palmetto Family Council President Steve Pettit told The Washington Stand. "It's an acceptance of who we are by creation. It protects our whole society from accepting something that is not true."
