Montana Lawmaker Preferred Kid Dead Than Transgender

Montana state Rep. Kerri Seekins-Crowe (R), who recently sponsored a bill banning gender-affirming care for minors, suggested that she had blocked the treatment for her own daughter, even as her daughter was suicidal, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Seekins-Crowe: “Someone once asked me, ‘Wouldn’t I just do anything to help save her?’ And I really had to think and the answer was, ‘No.'”

She went on to call her daughter’s suicidal tendencies “emotional manipulation.”
