Christie, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/chris-christie-launches-presidential-campaign-takes-immediate-aim-at-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">launched<\/a> his 2024 bid earlier this month, believes that the issue of sex-change procedures should be left to parents and their children without government interference, as reported by Mediaite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just don\u2019t want to see our government getting more and more intrusive in everybody\u2019s life, getting bigger,\u201d Christie said, adding, \u201cI don\u2019t think anything can replace parents when you\u2019re talking about major decisions that need to be made by our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if a 14-year-old comes home and says, &#8216;I really want to start switching genders,&#8217; that\u2019s the parent\u2019s decision?\u201d Kilmeade pressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you, it\u2019s more of a parent\u2019s decision than it\u2019s a governor\u2019s decision, for goodness sakes, Brian. Do you really think that Sarah Huckabee Sanders should be making this decision for children in Arkansas?\u201d Christie replied. \u201cI love Sarah. I think she\u2019s a great person and a really good governor. But I don\u2019t think she would ever allow the government to substitute her judgment as a mother for their judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Arkansas law, enacted by the legislature in 2021 over the veto of then-Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson, was effectively restored by Sanders through legislation that allows individuals who received \u201cgender affirming care\u201d to pursue civil litigation against medical providers who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/extreme-rewriting-of-federal-civil-rights-law-heres-how-the-biden-administration-is-pushing-its-transgender-agenda\/\" title=\"\u2018Extreme Rewriting Of Federal Civil Rights Law\u2019: Here\u2019s How The Biden Administration Is Pushing Its Transgender Agenda\">perform sex change procedures<\/a> on minors.
