It is now a felony to perform gender transition surgery or provide puberty blockers to a child under 19 years old in the state of Alabama. Breaking the law could mean up to 10 years in prison.
“Alabama will continue protecting our kids and not letting out-of-state liberals like Jen Psaki and the Biden White House tell us what to do,” said Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, who signed the Alabama Vulnerable Child Protection Act last month.
“Our state is prepared to defend our values,” Ivey continued. “Like I said, we need to focus on properly developing our children into the adults God intended them to be.”

Alabama is the first state to successfully implement such a measure, as the Arkansas legislature attempted a similar protection only to meet the veto of the Natural State’s governor Asa Hutchinson (R).
Relatedly, Ivey signed another child protection bill banning the discussion of sexual orientation in K-5 classrooms as well as requiring children use the restroom that aligns with their biological sex.
The Biden administration has been pushing hard for sex change surgeries and providing hormone treatments to children, with the White House calling it “crucial to overall health and well-being.”
The Biden Administration recently came out in favor of gender affirmation surgeries, even posting a video of the President saying “I have your back” to honor Transgender Day of Visibility.
“To transgender Americans of all ages, I want you to know that you are so brave. You belong. I have your back,” the tweet read.
