The Alabama state Senate voted Tuesday to criminalize performing gender transition surgeries or hormone therapy on minors who identify as transgender.

Under the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act, doctors would be prohibited from treating Alabama minors with hormone therapy, surgery or puberty blockers “intended to alter the minor child’s gender or delay puberty.” . . .

The Alabama state Senate passed the legislation Tuesday in a 23-4 vote, CBS News reported, sending the bill to the Alabama state House of Representatives.

The Alabama House has already approved a companion bill and the two combined bills would make it a felony for doctors to perform trans surgeries or hormone treatment on minors. . . .

Medical professionals who violate the legislation, if passed and signed into law, could face up to 10 years in prison or pay a $15,000 fine, CBS reported. . . .

Progressive groups, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, protested against the bill.

“This legislation will endanger young trans lives in Alabama,” Sam Brinton, the vice president of advocacy and government affairs at the LGBT organization The Trevor Project, said in a statement on Tuesday.

“It contradicts the consensus of major medical associations and the overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how affirming transgender and nonbinary youth in their identities reduces suicide risk and improves health.”

Alabama would become the first state to pass such legislation, according to CBS. The state also is considering H.B. 391, which would prevent biological males from participating in female sports.

Republican Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. . . .

Oh Lord I pray that this piece of legislation passes with favor. Let this become a template for other states to enact. Let God’s will be done. He made these children’s gender before they were placed in their mother’s womb. It is not satan’s perogative to change it. God is the creator. Let not any unrighteous spirit or unbeliever take it upon themselves to change this. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray.

Praise God for your tenacious Holy boldness.
May this example of courage be an example and a template for other states to follow and put in place the same directives. Start the holy reformation in the USA

Father, I thank you that you said to ask and we are asking in your Son’s Name, Jesus, for your intervention regarding these issues. I thank you that you are making the states aware that they have jurisdiction over their own states and can stop the federal overreaching and violation of the Constitution in order to promote an agenda. Protect the children of our land. Father, America is One Nation under your authority, in Jesus’ Name and we claim this Revival. that has begun will spread throughout the land and stop abortion, stop discrimination that is being placed on those who follow your heart. Stop being confused about who is a male or a female, for you clearly wanted a family and knew what you were doing when you created us in your image and likeness. Thank you that The Body of Christ is rising to the level of authority that your Son died to give us. We shall overcome because we are overcomes. We shall conquer, because we are more than conquerors. We shall pray, because we know how to pray the finished work of the Cross and the Victory that is already ours. We call those things that be not at though they were. Romans 4:17. I thank you Father that you said we have the mind of Christ and Greater are you that is sin us than he that is in the world. We have authority over all the authority of the enemy, Luke 10:19. We put on your armor, Father, and stand in the arena of faith that works by Love. We cannot be defeated and WE WILL NOT QUIT! Glory to you Father! The legislation that is harmful to the welfare of your children will not pass, will come to naught, shall be overturned, changed and shall not be implemented! Father, thank you that Good shall win, Right shall rule, and Love shall reign!

Correction to my last post. THE STAND is in reference to the “Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act”.

Blessings abound.

After reading these 14 replies from Godly-seeking Christians, I am truly encouraged that believers are
pro-active in their resolve to this Evil Agenda of Government at Federal, State and Local levels. This Transgender effort is in direct opposition to our Creator’ Plan for every human life expressed in Psalm 139:13-16.

Alabama continue your zeal and fortitude with State Legislative action. We pray Godly wisdom, discernment and protection for the Elected Representatives and their families. Sound “THE ALARM” to surrounding State Governments to embrace “THIS STAND” HB391 tp protect our young impressionable children.
I decree that the plans of the Evil Agenda will be cancelled, undone, revoked, null and void.
I declare Righteousness in the Offices of State Governments, Local School Boards, Teacher Affiliations to
accomplish the Will of God. “We declare that grace and wisdom is being released to the state and local government leaders in order to fight for our freedoms”. Dutch Sheets GH15

People have been throwing around the word hero very lightly in the last year, These legislators are my heroes. Standing up to this evil Goliath government/ news media to push back on these tyrannical executive orders that 90% of Americans are probably against but they make it seem like we are the minority. I pray for boldness and protection over righteous leaders in the rest of our states to unite and make a stand to save our children.
In the mighty name of Jesus I pray

Thank You Father God for courage and strength for leaders in every state that will stand on Your Word and defeat the demonic forces that are trying to destroy our great country.
Thank You for Alabama lawmakers that are standing up and saying no to the plans of the evil forces in America. Strengthen and protect them and let them be examples to other states.
In Jesus Precious and Holy Name, amen.

I AM SO PROUD FOR OUR SENATE TO PASS THIS AND SEND IT TO THE HOUSE AND PRAY OUR REPRESENTATIVES WILL PASS IT OVERWHELMINGLY AND THAT ALABAMA WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD OUR NATION IN SUBMITTING BILLS TO COME AGAINST ALL
OF THE INSANE TYPE ACTS AND EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO PUT ON US!

AS USUAL, I THINK CBS PUT OUT FAKE NEWS SAYING WE ARE THE FIRST STATE TO DO THIS BECAUSE I WAS LED TO BELIEVE EITHER 6 OR 7 OTHER STATES HAVE DONE IT!

PLEASE KEEP AT IT!

Praise be to the Lord!!! We thank you Lord for protecting the youth of Alabama against a monetary feeling that may change with age, truth and knowledge of who God has made them to be. Thank you for righteous leaders who acted quickly in this seeing the signs of the times and evil on the door step. We pray against any backlash they may receive from onlookers. We pray protection against any harm that may be intended for them. Lord enable them to stand confident & bold in the decision they have made.

Father, I thank you for this good news, wisdom and righteousness has prevailed in Alabama! I humbly pray state after state would follow as we become a nation that values and upholds our most precious citizens, our children. I pray we would become a nation that protects our most innocent citizens, the unborn. I pray Your righteous favor would extend to us all. “Praise and glory, wisdom and thanks, honor and power and strength belongs to our God forever and ever! (Revelation 7:12)

Thank You Father, thank You Jesus, thank You Holy Spirit. Amen.

Wisdom is calling!
“People, I am calling you..
get some common sense!
My mouth says what is true,
because my lips detest evil.
The fear of Adonai is hatred of evil.
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil ways and duplicitous speech.
“Adonai made me as the beginning of His way…
the first of His ancient works…
before the earth’s beginnings.
He who finds me finds life
and obtains the favor of Adonai.
He who misses me harms himself;
all who hate me love death.”
from Proverbs 8

Lord, we pray for the protection of our children from this lunacy and evil spirit penetrating our land. By your right hand protect the innocent and those who work to bring justice and restore us back to you snd your commands. Please come against all who use their influence and power to undermine what you intend snd May they realize those who destroy our children are in danger of judgment by your hand. May they come to repentance, acknowledge their sin and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior by a great awakening through your Holy Spirit. Mark 9:42
