Washington Bill Allowing Government to ‘Hide Your Kid From You’ Clears House
The Washington House has passed a bill allowing shelters to keep runaway juveniles from their parents to get an abortion and/or gender surgeries that include removing a girl's breasts or uterus. Although framed by proponents as a bill to protect youth suffering from abuse, SB 5599 only stipulates that the minors be "seeking or receiving protected health care services" for a homeless shelter or "host home" to avoid informing the parents or legal guardians, as otherwise required by state law. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/washington-in-focus/support
