(Worthy News) – Following South Dakota, one lawmaker in Florida is proposing legislation that would outlaw sex-change procedures for children.

The Florida legislature has agreed to take up a proposal put forward by state Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R). His bill would make it a crime for doctors to perform surgeries on children that sterilize them, physically alter their genitals, or inject them with so-called “puberty blockers,” according to a report from The Blaze.

Echoing the sentiments of Dr. Paul McHugh, a distinguished professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore who last year described transgender treatments for kids as “reckless and irresponsible,” Sabatini told The Blaze his law is needed because such procedures are akin to performing “dangerous social experiments” on underage minors.
