CBS Refuses to Air Political Ad Discussing Kamala Harris’ Support for ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Minors

CBS has refused to air a political ad discussing Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for using taxpayer funds for “gender-affirming care” for minor children, a topic that has been a hot-button issue over recent years.

The ad highlights the impact of “gender-affirming” surgeries being performed on minors in an effort to inform voters and parents in key swing states ahead of the upcoming presidential election, according to CatholicVote, the organization that created the ad.

A Daily Caller exclusive noted records showing that these procedures are being performed on children experiencing gender dysphoria.

Pennsylvania, Nevada and Michigan’s Medicaid records along with Wisconsin’s medical records show that taxpayer dollars are being spent on sex change procedures for minors diagnosed with gender-related identity disorders, the ads show. CBS and Paramount declined to provide specific reasoning to CatholicVote as to why the advertisements were denied from being shown on platforms, according to an email first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Paramount S&P has declined the spot submitted yesterday,” a Paramount ad sales executive stated in the email first obtained by the DCNF.

CatholicVote president Brian Burch told the Daily Caller News Foundation that taxpayers and parents “deserve to know that they are paying for devastating and permanent surgeries that destroy the healthy body parts of children.”

“CBS and Paramount have been particularly aggressive in pushing transgenderism in mass media, so why would they be afraid to discuss what that means in reality for everyday families whose kids are receiving their pro-transgender messaging?” Burch added.

The report also noted that 97 young girls in Pennsylvania had mastectomies, also known as “top surgeries,” according to Medicaid data, which also noted that 14 minor females had hysterectomies.

The state of Pennsylvania spent a total of $16.7 million in funding child sex change surgeries and other related procedures from the years 2015 to 2022. A request submitted by Pennsylvania Families Institute (PFI) found that the Pennsylvania’s Human Services Department invested millions “on sex reassignment and transition related services and drugs for service.”
Wisconsin medical records showed that 86 female minors underwent the process of fully removing their breasts, while 12 adolescent girls experienced hysterectomies, the Wisconsin ad notes. In Michigan, Medicaid data shows that 35 young girls had mastectomies, while seven underwent hysterectomies, according to the ad.
Nevada spent $12.5 million over the span of the years 2015 to 2023 for “transgender medical services.” The state used Medicaid and Nevada Check Up (NCU) to fund the different services.

The Biden-Harris administration has strongly supported “gender-affirming care” for minors, however it has stopped short of publicly supporting surgeries for children.

In response, Neera Tanden, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, wrote to Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson on Monday night, assuring that the administration’s policy remains unchanged.
In an email obtained by The Advocate, Tanden said, “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.
Gender-affirming surgeries are typically reserved for adults, and we believe they should be.”

However, both Biden and Harris have condemned states that have passed laws against “gender-affirming care” for children, which would include the use of puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and surgeries.

Burch cautioned that if the vice president wins the election, “how many more children’s bodies will she help destroy?”
