A bill was introduced in Illinois that seeks to add to the definition of “abused child.” If this bill becomes law, parents who oppose puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, transgender surgeries, and abortions for their children, will be considered as committing child abuse. The bill also protects doctors from liability if they prescribed one of the above treatments to minors who did not have parental consent. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services would also be able to take children away from their biological parents if they meet these additional definitions of child abuse.<\/p>\n

From The Daily Wire:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

House Bill 4876, which was introduced in early February, also shields doctors from liability if they prescribe such treatments to minors who do not have parental consent — and empowers the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to step in and, if they deem it necessary, remove children from their biological parents based on the new definition of an “abused child.”<\/p>\n

According to the legislation, which imbues minors with the same legal status as adults with regard to consenting to medical treatments and procedures related to abortion and gender transition, “consent to the performance of abortion services and gender-affirming services executed by a minor is not voidable because of such minority.”<\/p>\n

Additionally, doctors who prescribe and perform such treatments and procedures are directed only to make a reasonable effort to ensure that the minor in question has an understanding of the risks and benefits — and are exempted from any liability, either civil or criminal, for their participation in the minor’s treatment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
