Under the Knife of Cultural Blindness
Fred Deutsch didn't set out to be a trailblazer. He just wanted to protect kids. But if his South Dakota bill stops children from being mutilated, then all of the nasty emails will have been worth it. At least in one state, hurting teens will have a chance at a normal life -- not the suffering so many activists are pushing them toward. When legislators bundled up for work this morning in Pierre, some of them were on their way to make history. For the first time in America, a state was holding a hearing on whether minors under 16 should be allowed to surgically or chemically alter their sex. Rep. Deutsch (R) says he didn't really plan on authoring a bill like the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, but at some point, you just can't turn away from the suffering these "treatments" are ... (more)

The law passed unanimously in the House of Representatives and 97-3 in the Senate and was signed into law by President Clinton. In 1998, President Clinton ... (more)
