‘State-Enabled Kidnapping’: Colorado Democrat Bill Would Give Custody Of Kids To Parents Who Push Trans Mutilation
Far-left members of the Colorado state House advanced a bill on Tuesday evening that would direct courts considering child custody cases to favor parents who push radical gender ideology and penalize parents who do not “affirm” their child’s identification as “transgender.”
The bill, introduced last Friday night, passed out of the Colorado House Judiciary Committee in a 7-4 vote on Tuesday and heads to the floor for a second reading on April 4.
“House Bill 1312 is an egregious step towards solidifying Colorado as a Trans Sanctuary State. This bill requires a court to give priority consideration for custody to the parent that affirms a child’s gender dysphoria,” Republican state Rep. Jarvis Caldwell told The Federalist. “The parent who disagrees and tries to get the child actual help is now guilty of committing child abuse, referred [to] in the bill as ‘coercive control.’ The bill also ignores other state[s’] court rulings if one parent brings a child to Colorado for gender-affirming care; directly violating Article IV, Section 1, known as the Full Faith and Credit Clause, of the U.S. Constitution.”
When courts consider child custody, “a court shall consider deadnaming, misgendering, or threatening to publish material related to an individual’s gender-affirming health-care services as types of coercive control,” the bill states. “Deadnaming” and “misgendering” would officially be considered “discriminatory acts” if the bill passes.
Democrats hold significant majorities in both chambers, and Democrat Gov. Jared Polis has already signed radical transgender bills in the past. (Read more from “‘State-Enabled Kidnapping’: Colorado Democrat Bill Would Give Custody Of Kids To Parents Who Push Trans Mutilation” HERE)
