Kansas House fails to override Gov. Kelly's veto on gender-affirming care

TOPEKA (KSNT) -- A bill banning gender-affirming care will not become law. The Kansas House failed to override Governor Laura Kelly's veto Monday night.

Supporters believe people under 18 years old shouldn't partake in gender transition surgery or treatments. This bill would stop doctors from providing that care to minors. If a doctor provided these treatments, they could lose their licenses or get sued. But opponents argue that these decisions shouldn't be up to the government.
