Funny how this started out as “protect the children, who are too young to make permanent decisions,” which is not prima facie absurd, and then, once they pushed that through, became “no taxpayer money for trans surgeries,” which is much less defensible, but still may seem reasonable to many voters. I wonder where they are going with this.

Maybe some slopes are indeed slippery.

Any 'think about the children' argument is just a smokescreen.

Especially when one considers what the typical Republican politician is actually thinking about when thinking about children.

Might be good to clarify in the title that this is the Georgia state senate

Hence why state is in the title.

Oddly enough, "state" can also refer to an entire country.

That's very unclear. The us has at least 7 states

Yes, but it's not clear which state. Some might also read state to mean the state department
