Major Catholic group launches ads attacking Kamala Harris over taxpayer-funded sex changes for kids

The scorching six-figure ads will begin airing Monday in four critical swing states — Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and Michigan — and are intended to target Catholic voters and households with children.

The ads, shared exclusively with The Post, cite Medicaid data that show the number of sex-change surgeries performed on children in each state.

“Just in: Medicaid data shows [97 in PA; 86 in WI; 18 in NV; 35 in MI] underage girls had their breasts completely removed,” the ads begin, with one of the bracketed figures cited depending on which state the advertisement airs in.

“[14 in PA; 12 in WI; 3 in NV; 7 in MI] underage girls underwent hysterectomies. Sex change operations attempting to make young boys into girls. Penis amputations.

“Sound weird? Disgusting?” the narrator in the ads says. “It is. And you’re paying for it.

“Kamala Harris supports these taxpayer-funded sex-change operations. A vote for Harris: a vote for medical experiments on kids.”

The Harris-Biden administration recently reaffirmed its stance on children being allowed to undergo transgender surgery — on the taxpayers’ dime — as long as the kids’ parents and doctors approve of it. The administration has said it believes the surgery should typically be reserved for adults but that it won’t stop children from undergoing the life-altering procedures if the above condition is met.

“We continue to fight state and national bans on gender-affirming care, which represents a continuum of care, and respect the role of parents, families and doctors – not politicians – in these decisions,” said Neera Tanden, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, in an email obtained by The Advocate.

“Gender-affirming surgeries are typically reserved for adults, and we believe they should be,” Tanden said.

Harris has not laid out any differing campaign policy on transgender surgeries since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.

“Most people have no idea of the size, scope and money involved in the trans agenda being pushed on our kids,” Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote, told The Post.

“Talk about weird: Physically healthy boys and girls are having their genitals and sexual organs destroyed, and Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies in the Senate not only thinks that’s acceptable but are forcing taxpayers to pay for it. Unlike fracking, de-funding the police or securing the border, Kamala has not yet flip-flopped on forcing Americans to pay for medical experiments on children.”

The Vatican issued a document in April laying out the Catholic Church’s stance on sex-change surgeries, arguing that it goes against the dignity of the person.

“Talk about weird: Physically healthy boys and girls are having their genitals and sexual organs destroyed, and Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies in the Senate not only thinks that’s acceptable but are forcing taxpayers to pay for it. Unlike fracking, de-funding the police or securing the border, Kamala has not yet flip-flopped on forcing Americans to pay for medical experiments on children.”

“It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception,” the “Infinite Dignity” document read.

Harris’ campaign did not respond to an inquiry from The Post.
