All credit to Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) and colleagues for introducing a bill that could save foster care services and children from one of the most morally misbegotten initiatives of the entire Biden administration.

As this newspaper editorialized last December, Biden’s appointees at the Department of Health and Human Services are pushing a rule which, in the supposed cause of embracing varying sexual “identities,” could seriously exacerbate shortages in the nationwide availability of foster care. The rule also would violate religious freedom while essentially putting confused children rather than adults in charge of life-altering decisions about chemical and surgical alternations of their bodies.
