'Even if everything gets defeated or repealed, the spirit behind them is still here, and we just can't help but feel like it's not safe,” one dad said.

Try being a person without medical insurance.. gotta leave the country for any affordable care Out of all the GOOD things politicians could be legislating: healthcare, GunReform, fair wages, ClimateAction, immigration, EducationForAll... American politicians instead chose to legislate: your children's genitals. You must do what is best for your children.

Laws banning transgender student athletes splinter GOPStates are considering an unprecedented number of bills targeting transgender women and girls who play sports, but Republican support for the measures is not universal. Splintered on strategy yes, not on the stance. Your statement is misleading but expected. Can anyone explain how fair and competitive the event would be if people born male competed against women? GOP is obsessed with children’s genitalia as they keep showing over and over. It’s disgusting they want to constantly make laws that interfere with patient doctor decisions. They are the poster party for discrimination

Lone Arizona Republican votes 'no,' blocking passage of bill targeting mail votingA bill that would stop some voters from getting a ballot automatically mailed to them each election failed unexpectedly in Arizona’s state Senate Thursday after a single Republican joined Democrats in voting against the legislation. So nice to see politicians that aren’t afraid to be individuals and not just vote party lines! Lone Republican will be gone.
