California's Proposed AB-957: Parents Must Agree to Child's Gender Transition or Risk Losing Custody
Duke and Newman delved into a new law being proposed in California, known as AB-957. This law has caught the attention of many, especially parents, in California.
If passed, AB-957 could mean that parents in California must support or "affirm" if their child wants to change their gender, which includes decisions like undergoing surgery. If parents don't support their child's decision, they could potentially lose custody.
Many conservatives, including Alex Newman, believe this law is overstepping, suggesting parents should have more input in such major decisions regarding their children. The Dr. Duke Show, with Alex's insights, deeply examines this issue, discussing its potential impact on Californian families.
