•House Republicans are still figuring out who to support as the next speaker of the House.
• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that the next speaker needs to support a restrictive bill of hers.
• The bill would prohibit any "taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care" as well as care for minors.

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said one of top priorities in choosing a new speaker of the House is if they'll help bring her bill restricting transgender children and adults from receiving gender-affirming healthcare to a floor vote.

Asked by Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday as to which GOP speaker candidate she plans to support to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy, she pointed to a bill that she introduced earlier in the year.

Introduced in June 2023, Greene's "Protect Children's Innocence Act" does far more than simply limit children from accessing gender-affirming care.

In actuality, according to a press release from her own office, it prohibits any "taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care," forbid "institutions of higher education" from teaching about gender-affirming care, and restricts any foreigner who's performed any form of gender-affirming care on a minor from entering the United States.
