UPDATE: Cowardly Arkansas governor vetoes bill limiting children's genital mutilation

The bravest political office holder is the lame duck. 

Lame ducks don't need to be concerned about being reelected, so they can vote for or against bills that come before them in the way they see fit. But there are some politicians on their way out of office who either need approval or are too cowardly to go against the cultural flow of the woke.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) is such a coward. He vetoed a bill banning the surgical mutilation of children's genitalia to make them look like the opposite gender. This is unconscionable and quite disgusting.

The law, titled the "Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act," would have prohibited doctors in the state from performing gender reassignment surgeries on minors [children under the age of 18] who are attempting or considering transitioning genders. 

Of course, one really cannot transition, or change sexes, but that's the lie we are being told by the left.

The law also banned access to reversible puberty blockers and hormones. Prior to the veto, Arkansas was poised to be the first state to ban these practices for minors, now due to this cowardly garbage heap of a governor, Arkansas has joined the blue states.

Hutchinson described the bill as a "product of the cultural war in America" and criticized it for being a "vast government overreach" of power. He's wrong--protecting children from the bad decisions they make needs to be done by their parents, and when that isn't possible, by the law. Hutchinson knows that but is too afraid to stand up to the woke mob.

The Republican Party needs to grow a pair.

UPDATE: The Arkansas legislature overrode the veto and the bill has passed.
