Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a law that would “take children away from their parents if the parents don’t want to consent to sex changes.”
"I think it’s pretty weird to try to take children away from their parents if the parents don’t want to consent to sex changes," Vance said Aug. 7 at a campaign event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. "That’s something that Tim Walz did." Other conservatives made similar claims. Fox News host Jesse Watters said the law Walz supported "removes a child from their parents’ home if the parents don’t want to castrate them." Political commentator Megyn Kelly wrote on X that the law "lets the state take away (your) kids" if you don’t agree to gender-affirming care. [...] The law would neither "take away" a parent’s custody rights, nor would it authorize the government to take custody of a child just because a parent objects to gender-affirming care.
