Ohio SAFE Act hearings - Commentary: Rep Click Intro - Part 2/2

Part 2 of a Review and Commentary on Rep Gary Click's introduction to Ohio HB-454, also known as the Save Adolescence From Experimentation, or SAFE ACT.

The act deals with limiting medical and surgical transition of minors in the state of Ohio. The bill did not make it out of committee, however the discussions by various witnesses and committee members were an excellent review of all sides of the issue.

In this episode, parent and witness to the proceedings, Jeannette Cooper, joins us to review the introductory statement and Q&A Session from 17 Feb, 2022.
