Introduced by outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), the Protect Children's Innocence Act would impose fines and/or up to 10 years in prison on anyone who "knowingly performs, or attempts to perform, genital or bodily mutilation on another person who is a minor"; "knowingly chemically castrates a minor"; or knowingly "facilitates or consents to female genital mutilation of a minor" or "transports a minor for the purpose of the performance of female genital mutilation on such minor." The bill includes exceptions for procedures that are meant to address actual medical issues, rather than purposes relating to gender confusion.

The bill passed with three Democrats crossing over to support it: Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, and Don Davis of North Carolina. At the same time, four Republicans broke ranks to vote against it: Mike Lawler of New York, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Gabe Evans of Colorado, and Mike Kennedy of Utah.

Fox News reports that prior to passage, Greene came into conflict with Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) over whether certain details passed constitutional muster.

Roy, a member of the House Rules Committee, supports banning youth gender transitions but proposed an amendment that would have limited criminal liability to conduct that "falls within federal jurisdiction." Greene claimed he "refuses to protect children"; Roy countered that "the constitution matters & we should not bastardize it to use 'interstate commerce' to empower federal authorities." He ultimately backed down.

To reach President Donald Trump's desk, the bill would require 60 votes, meaning zero Republican defections and seven Democrats crossing the aisle. This fall, Trump has started demanding that Senate Republicans eliminate the filibuster so they can pass a wider range of legislation with their 53-seate majority, but so far GOP leaders have resisted, fearful of the transformative policies Democrats could push through as a result the next time they regain power...
