Episode notes
Trans Refuge Law Impact
- Megyn Kelly shared a hypothetical story about a girl from Wisconsin.
- The girl gets influenced by online content, leading to a desire for gender-affirming care against her parents' wishes.
Out-of-State Implications
- Minnesota's law allows out-of-state minors to receive gender-affirming care.
- This undermines parental rights in other states, as anyone can take a child to Minnesota for these procedures.
Jurisdictional Conflict
- Minnesota's law grants emergency jurisdiction if a child is denied gender-affirming care.
- This overrides other states' jurisdiction, preventing parents from reclaiming their children.
