Sen. Bullard statement on federal ruling affirming SB 613

OKLAHOMA CITY – Sen. David Bullard, R-Durant, released the following statement Friday on the federal ruling upholding the legality of Senate Bill 613 on gender-affirming care.

“I am pleased that the court sees the importance of protecting kids from the harms of genitalia mutilation and sterilization. It is important that we ensure protections for our kids against this dangerous ideology that seeks to convince them of a lie and then are willing to cause physical mutilation and harm while doing so. We will not turn a blind eye to this atrocity being fabricated on our kids. You cannot cure confusion with a knife but they sure can make a lot of money from it. When we get to the root of the problem, it is always about money and not about what is best for kids. Today, Oklahoma kids won.”
