AUBURN — On Wednesday, before the This is the Turning Point Tour event at Auburn University, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) rebuked gender transition surgeries for minors, calling it an "evil" practice.
Alabama's senior U.S. Senator recently announced the Chloe Cole Act, which would codify President Donald Trump's recent executive order ending the United States' support of "transitioning" children. The bill specifically bans the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.
