Sen Hawley warns it would be 'unconscionable' if billions of taxpayer funds flow to trans kids’ sex changes

Senator Josh Hawley urges House Speaker Mike Johnson to block taxpayer funding for sex change treatments for minors, warning that billions could flow to providers like Planned Parenthood after a current ban expires on July 4. Hawley cites a Government Accountability Office report showing Planned Parenthood received over $1.5 billion in Medicaid funds between 2019-2021 and a study indicating a 40% increase in trans-related services at its clinics.
