Ohio’s governor vetoed a bill Friday that would have restricted both transition-related care for minors and transgender girls’ participation on school sports teams.
Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto makes him one of only two Republican governors to veto a restriction on gender-affirming care, alongside Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson in 2021, and one of only three Republican governors to veto a trans athlete bill after Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb last year.
In a press conference on Friday following his veto, DeWine said the “gut-wrenching” decision about whether a minor should have access to gender-affirming care “should not be made by the government, should not be made by the state of Ohio,” rather it should be made by the child’s parents and doctors.
Prior to vetoing the bill, DeWine told The Associated Press that he visited three Ohio children’s hospitals to learn more about transition-related care and spoke to families who were both helped and harmed by it.
“We’re dealing with children who are going through a challenging time, families that are going through a challenging time,” he said. “I want, the best I can, to get it right.”
The Ohio General Assembly, which is controlled by a Republican supermajority, can override the governor’s veto with a three-fifths majority vote.

“I wonder what kind of photos they have of him.”
You are not wrong. I would not be surprised if he was drugged while at a party at Lex Wexner’s mansion.
Umm, so what else is in the law? Lots of well intentioned wads of paper are turned into toidy paper by extra clauses and other crappola.
What was his reasoning for allowing boys dressed as girls to participate in girl’s sports?
People like Dewine are part of the problem as they condone and basically participate in this type of crap. 50 years ago it was a felony for most of this stuff including drag queens hanging around schools.The laws are still on the books, but are not enforced anymore....
$omeone $lipped him bribe$
Josef Mengele is laughing in his grave.
Doesn’t surprise me in the least. He has always been a spineless squish, just like Gov Pence.
Absolutely expected of DeWine - (which is why we did not want him as governor).
DeWine is not a courageous man - he is a weakling in mind and body.
He makes a show of deliberating about his decision- yeah, right.
What a joke.
He got millions from AAMCO who didn’t want anyone else caring for trannies.
America has become the world’s leader in the INHUMAN sexual mutilation of children and this jackass governor confirms it.
This is not justice. These are crimes against Almighty God and His Creation AND AGAINST HUMANITY for which such barbaric “leaders” should be prosecuted and publicly hanged.
Doctors who do this are depraved barbarians lacking morality and conscience and they should be imprisoned for these horrendous crimes.
This is something every bit as sick as done by the German Nazi’s.
Any society in which children are mutilated are a bunch of subhuman savages and are begging decent people to destroy them and their pure evil.
He has always been an infiltrator and a piece of crap, just like Kasich. But he’s like cancer that keeps reappearing.
coward enabler or LGBT sickos. We won’t forget.
Right, just as bad as Kaisich.
ditto
DeWine locked down Ohio for COVID and was proud of what he did they booed DeWine when he was with Trump in 2020 as Trump tied to calm the crowd.
Way to go, Ohio.
>>>The Buckeye State is teetering on the edge at this point.
Just voted to affirm abortion rights and recreational use of marijuana, now this outrage.
Sure hope there’s a worthy MAGA gubernatorial candidate waiting in the wings to keep Ohio from being totally lost.
Ohio State will lose their game tonight because their opponent, Missouri, is good enough to have only 2 losses even though they played 5 ranked teams (as opposed to Ohio State’s 1 loss to 3 ranked teams). Missouri was leading Georgia in the 3rd quarter. Missouri might be better than Michigan.
“DeWine is worthless rino. “
Yes, DeWine is really quite a scumbag, from his Biden-like mismanagement of the East Palestine toxic mushroom cloud, to waiting until the last second to sign Constitutional Carry into law, to his Hochul-like lockdown of the state of Ohio during Covid, this guy has proven himself to be a world class loser and we cannot be rid of him fast enough.
A conservative in deep blue Cleveland!
Again, where did the RYAN POS hale from and his predecessor?? Why even have two parties when they vote as one.
