An Ohio judge ruled in favor of the state’s ban on trans treatments for minors and men in women’s sports. This is a huge answered prayer!

From The Epoch Times. An Ohio county judge ruled on Aug. 6 that a law prohibiting “gender transition” and banning biological males from competing in women’s sports does not violate the state’s constitution.

The court’s decision, which lifts an earlier injunction by the same judge, clears the way for the law to be enforced.

In a 13-page decision, Judge Michael J. Holbrook of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas upheld House Bill 68 …

The two acts contained in the law are the “Saving Ohio Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act” and the “Save Women’s Sports Act.” The first act bans transgender surgeries and hormone therapies for minors. The second act blocks transgender athletes who identify as females from participating in women’s sports at all academic levels.

Judge Holbrook wrote in his ruling that the law “reasonably limits parents’ rights to make decisions about their children’s medical care consistent with the State’s deeply rooted legitimate interest in the regulation of [the] medical profession and medical treatments.”

The judge found that the state government has a legitimate interest in protecting the health and safety of minors, noting that other countries have changed their positions on “gender-affirming care” for children due to inconsistent results and potential risks.

“The Court finds that upon weighing the evidence received at trial, the Health Care Ban is rationally related to this interest. It is limited to minors. Moreover, the medical care banned carries with it undeniable risk and permanent outcomes,” he wrote. …

The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, which challenged the law in April, called the ruling a setback and said it plans to appeal. …

State lawmakers in January enacted the law after overriding a veto by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.

People need wisdom. People need to go to church and put God first. God will reveal ALL the lies of Satan, regarding gay, lesbian, transgender, etc. Issues. God created man, woman, Jesus does NOT make mistakes. He ❤️ everyone.
God has good plans for everyone. Plans to prosper, live, laugh, love, grow, mature, mercy, heal, give. I am sorry for these people that go and grow in the wrong direction. May Jesus pour out His wisdom, love, mercy and the Holy Spirit. May they really see and know that Jesus loves them.Fill them to overflowing with the Holy Spirit. God bless and heal their minds, hearts, and spirit. Amen

Lord, your ways are amazing! We have this god-fearing judge in Ohio that voted for abortions, to stem the tide of harm by law to children and women. We pray that his decision may not be overturned and that You, Lord, will continue to protect your innocents by those either courage. In gratitude we pray. Amen
