(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds will soon sign a bill that would ban Iowa doctors from providing gender transition medication or procedures to minors. “Our legislature just passed blocking gender reassignment and puberty blockers, so that’s on its way to my desk, so thank you legislature for getting that done,” Reynolds said. Reynolds made her comments during an event in Davenport on Friday. The bill passed the Iowa House and Senate last week with Republican support.

All Democrats in the legislature and five Republicans in the House voted against it. A Des Moines Register Iowa Poll released this (Monday) morning has found 52 percent of the Iowans surveyed support the legislation.
