gutfeld this way. the g.o.p.-controlled legislature is pushed to make texas the latest conservative state to crack down on medical care and get this the rights of transgender people. the rights of transgender people that is not what this is about at all. where talk about children, children having life-changing operations that are irrev irreversible. contrast this with washington state were democrats just made it legal for doctors to perform a number of these procedures without parental consent. vasectomies without parental consent. and without even parental notification they are compelling reasons not to notify the parent. imagine if they were your child. some are calling it state sanctioned kidnapping. if you ask americans there are no two sides to this debate. a new washington post poll showed an overwhelming americans oppose puberty blocking her children and let be very clear, even when you re doing a vasectomy for life altering, it is permanent and cannot be undone and
