Connecticut lawmakers are pushing a radical agenda that threatens parental rights, medical consent, and educational transparency. Four bills currently under consideration—HB 7213, SJ-00035, SB 1271, and SB 7—form a dangerous framework that would strip parents of their ability to guide their children’s most critical life decisions while cementing extreme policies into state law.

These bills are not isolated proposals; they work together to systematically erode parental authority, ensure the government’s dominance over children’s medical and educational choices, and codify gender ideology and abortion-on-demand into the Connecticut Constitution. If passed, they will permanently alter the rights of parents and the moral landscape of our state.

HB 7213: Stripping Parents of Medical Authority

HB 7213 is deceptively marketed as a “reproductive health care access” bill, but its real impact is far more dangerous. This legislation allows minors to receive abortion services, pregnancy-related treatment, and contraception without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Even more alarming, healthcare providers are explicitly barred from informing parents unless the minor grants permission.

Key Issues with HB 7213:

• Grants minors the ability to make life-altering medical decisions without parental input.

• Forbids doctors from notifying parents or sending medical bills unless the child explicitly allows it.

• Will it leave parents financially responsible for these procedures while stripping them of the right to be informed.

This bill effectively removes parents from their children’s most critical medical decisions, replacing parental guidance with unchecked government intervention.

SJ-00035: Embedding Radical Gender and Abortion Policies into the State Constitution 

SJ-00035 is a direct assault on the values and rights of Connecticut families. This proposal aims to redefine “sex discrimination” to include an unrestricted right to “prevent, initiate, continue, or terminate a pregnancy,” effectively constitutionalizing abortion-on-demand.

Additionally, the bill enshrines gender identity and expression as a protected constitutional right. This sweeping change could lead to:

• Legal challenges against parental objections to gender ideology in schools.

• The forced acceptance of biological males in women’s sports, public restrooms, and locker rooms.

• The prioritization of radical social policies over common-sense parental and community concerns.

This bill would make it nearly impossible to challenge extreme policies in the future, locking Connecticut into an agenda that disregards parental rights and traditional values.

SB 1271: Undermining Parental Input in Schools and Public Libraries

SB 1271 is an attack on parental oversight in education. The bill expands access to controversial and explicit materials in school libraries while making it significantly harder for parents to challenge them.

Key Issues with SB 1271:

• Restricts book challenges to once every three years, ensuring that radical and inappropriate content remains in schools.

• Limits parental influence over educational materials, effectively silencing concerns about explicit or ideological content.

• Elevates activist-driven narratives in school curricula while dismissing parental objections.

This legislation prioritizes an ideological agenda over parental rights, removing the ability of families to shape their children’s education according to their values.

SB 7: The Trojan Horse of “Health Equity”

SB 7 is deliberately vague, but its implications are dangerous. Under the pretext of protecting “health care access” and ensuring “equitable delivery of health care services,” this bill could establish a legal foundation for gender transition treatments to be classified as essential medical care.

If passed, SB 7 could:

• Mandate that insurance providers cover gender transition procedures without parental consent.

• Override parental objections to gender-related medical treatments.

• Further enshrine gender ideology into Connecticut’s legal and medical systems.

By keeping the language broad and undefined, SB 7 creates a legal loophole for activist-driven policies that will further erode parental authority.

What’s Really Happening?

These four bills appear to be part of a coordinated effort to remove parents from critical decisions in their children’s lives while embedding radical social policies into Connecticut law. If passed, they will:

• Allow minors to undergo life-altering medical procedures without parental involvement.

• Prevent parents from objecting to school curricula and library materials that push controversial social agendas.

• Enshrine gender ideology and abortion-on-demand in the Connecticut Constitution, making future challenges nearly impossible.

What Can You Do?

1. Call or email your legislators TODAY and demand they oppose HB 7213, SJ-00035, SB 1271, and SB 7.

2. Share this message with fellow parents, churches, and community leaders.

3. Attend hearings and town halls to voice your concerns and ensure lawmakers hear from parents—not just activists.

4. Stay informed and engaged—if these bills pass, the state will have more authority over your child than you do.

Connecticut is at a Crossroads

Will we allow lawmakers to strip parents of their rights and force radical policies onto our children? Or will we take a stand for parental authority, the protection of life, and the safeguarding of truth?

The time to act is now. These bills represent a fundamental shift in the role of government in family life, and once parental rights are lost, they will be nearly impossible to regain.

Parents, communities, and faith leaders must rally together to protect our children and ensure that Connecticut remains a state where families—not the government—are responsible for shaping their children’s futures.

This state is not a safe place to raise children any longer. They are countering proven facts of biology, not educating children on reading,writing,arithmetic and science or American history but indoctrinating them in political activism and normalizing DSM-5 gender dysphoria and supporting mutilating them without parental consent. It is unconstitutional and dangerous. Who is getting the kickbacks from this???
