Nebraska has become the 18th state to ban trans surgeries for minors.
According to a report from The Daily Wire, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has signed a bill banning transgender surgeries for children and most abortions at 12 weeks.; it’s called the “Let Them Grow Act.”
Governor Pillen called it a “historic day” on Twitter.
“The passage of LB574 was a historic day for the state of Nebraska. The legislation sent a message that Nebraska will stand up and protect our kids so that they can have a better and brighter future. Together, we can create a culture that embraces life and love.”

From The Daily Wire:
The signing makes Nebraska the 18th state to pass laws banning transgender procedures on children and follows a raucous week at the capitol building in Lincoln after several protesters were arrested during the legislature’s Friday session.
…
The bill, known as the “Let Them Grow Act,” passed 33-15 in the state legislature and comes after the failure by one vote of a bill that would have banned abortion at six weeks. The 12-week ban, similar to one that North Carolina Republicans enacted last week, was the first abortion ban passed in the state in 13 years.
Nebraska lawmakers joined other red states, including Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, in banning transgender surgeries for minors, such as mastectomies on girls who identify as boys.
