"The surgeries done on minors involve cutting off body parts at a time when these kids cannot even legally smoke a cigarette," Kelly said during a question on health care for trans youth. "Kids who go from puberty blockers to cross-sex hormones are at a much greater likelihood of winding up sterile. How is it that you think a parent should be able to OK these surgeries, never mind the sterilization of a child?"
Christie, who has come out against transgender health care bans, pushed back on Kelly's assertion, saying Republicans "believe in less government, not more." He added that he trusted parents to make more decisions about their children's healthcare.
