Ohio Governor Mike DeWine vetoed the SAFE Act and the Save Women’s Sports Act.
The Safe Act bill would have banned gender-affirming care and the Save Women’s Sports Act would have barred biological men from competing in women’s sports.
Ohio’s Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced Friday that he has vetoed a bill that would have banned medical practitioners from providing gender-affirming care for transgender minors, saying he believes gender-affirming care is a decision families should make, not the government.
The Republican governor said he arrived at his decision to veto House Bill 68, also called the SAFE Act, after listening to physicians and families in a “fact-gathering” mission. The bill passed both chambers of the Ohio Legislature earlier this month, and Friday was the final day DeWine could veto it. The bill also would have blocked transgender student athletes from playing in girls’ and women’s sports, both in K-12 schools and in colleges and universities.
“Were I to sign House Bill 68, or were House Bill 68 to become law, Ohio would be saying that the state, that the government, knows better what is best for a child than the two people who know that child the best — the parents,” DeWine said during his announcement.
“This is an issue that has people on both sides have great passion,” DeWine said. “The decisions that parents are making are not easy decisions. You know, they’re just not. What we find in life, sadly, is that many times we are making decisions and neither alternative is sort of what we’d want, but we have to make a decision. And I just felt that there’s no one better than the parents to make those decisions.”
Donald Trump, who endorsed DeWine in the general election, blasted him saying he was done with him.
Trump said he has fallen to the radical left and the bills he vetoed “would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women’s sports.”
Former President Donald Trump has denounced Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of House Bill 68, saying the governor has “fallen to the radical left.”
On Saturday morning, the former president wrote on Truth Social, “DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left. No wonder he gets loudly booed in Ohio every time I introduce him at Rallies, but I won’t be introducing him any more. I’m finished with this “stiff.” What was he thinking. The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women’s sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!”
Trump endorsed DeWine’s re-election campaign last year in the general election, however, chose not to make an endorsement in the contested GOP primary.
DeWine vetoed House Bill 68 on Friday, announcing his decision at a press conference.
