A bill allowing child trafficking is back, and it’s worse than ever.
Hello, this is Senator Lisa Keim of Oxford County. I’m joining you for this week’s Republican Radio Address to talk about a horrifying bill that would be used for the trafficking of children. Does this seem like déjà vu?
As some of you may remember, the Judiciary Committee recently worked a bill, LD 1735, which would have promoted child trafficking for so-called transgender care by limiting the rights of not only Maine parents, but also parents from all across the nation who would lose their parental rights at the Maine border.
Parents from across the country vehemently voiced opposition to that bill. In fact, no other bill in Maine’s history caused so much national worry and angst among parents who feared their child could be trafficked to Maine to receive so-called gender-affirming care.
