evidence: At a campaign rally in Montana on Friday, Trump, the GOP's presidential nominee, accused Walz of signing a law "letting the state kidnap children to change their gender so that they go home." Vance, during an interview with ABC News' Jonathan Karl on This Week that aired Sunday morning, backed Trump's comments, reiterating that the policy amounts to "kidnapping." [...] In April 2023, Walz, who has been the state's governor since 2019, signed a Minnesota law aimed at protecting the rights of the LGBTQ+ community to access and receive gender-affirming health care—which can include a range of medical procedures and care such as surgery and puberty blockers—without intervention of out-of-state laws. [...] In addition, Walz banned conversion therapy for children and vulnerable adults. Twenty-three states and Washington, D.C., have banned conversion therapy. Meanwhile, half of the United States have restrictions on gender-affirming care.
