The New Hampshire House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass a bill that would protect children from some irreversible transgender surgeries.  The bill‚ which was passed 199-175 with 12 Democrats voting in favor and two Republicans voting against‚ was amended to be significantly weaker from the initial proposal. As introduced‚ the bill would have prohibited giving children puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones‚ which have been linked to problems with fertility‚ bone development‚ and heart health. It also would have banned procedures to remove the breasts of girls who identify as boys. The bill as passed only prohibits genital transgender procedures.  “Adolescent genital gender reassignment surgery generally lacks both adequate information for informed consent and involves a high risk of coercion for parental consent when parents believe that they are faced with a choice between their child committing suicide or consenting to their child’s genital gender reassignment surgeries‚” the bill says. “In the absence of high quality data to prove safety and efficacy‚ including long term outcomes‚ only people over the age of majority should receive genital gender reassignment surgery in the state of New Hampshire.” Rep. Jonah Wheeler‚ one of the Democrats who joined Republicans in voting for the bill‚ said that it was necessary to shield kids from life-altering surgeries.  “This is a question of whether or not you believe children should be able to get an irreversible surgery‚” he said‚ according to the New Hampshire Bulletin. “So yeah‚ despite being a liberal who believes in human rights‚ I do not think that children should be able to get irreversible surgery. So I’ll take all the heat that comes from this.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The bill is expected to pass the Senate and go to the desk of Republican Governor Chris Sununu‚ who has taken a variety of socially liberal positions in the past‚ including opposing a bill that would have given parents more oversight over what was going on at schools.  Another bill to allow entities to keep males out of female sports‚ prisons‚ and restrooms was also passed by the Republican-controlled House and sent to the Senate‚ where Republicans also have a majority.  Over 20 states have passed laws banning transgender procedures on children. Last week‚ Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) vetoed a bill that would have banned transgender surgeries and giving children hormones and puberty blockers. Ohio Republicans‚ who have a supermajority in the legislature‚ could override DeWine’s veto later this year.

One dad was so moved when his family presented him with a new puppy‚ he couldn’t help tearing up over the surprise! In a sweet Facebook video of the moment‚ a small girl walks up to her father carrying a tiny pooch. As soon as Dad holds the little guy in his arms‚ he breaks down crying. Apparently‚ the adorable pup was the spitting image of his dog‚ Mika‚ who had recently passed away. This wasn’t the only thing that was special about the little furball. Dad soon learned that he shared a birthday with the new puppy he was tearing up over! His family told him that they took this coincidence “as a sign.” Screengrab from Dad Jokes/Facebook Facebook users were moved by the beautiful video‚ which has received 5 million views so far. “I love that puppies can make even the most stubbornly manly men break down like babies‚” wrote one commenter. “Love that this family let the man work through it‚” another added. “We are so quick to say ‘it’s ok‚ don’t cry!’ Sometimes even the strongest need to let it out.” Dogs have a way of immediately melting our hearts at any age. Even this 97-year-old grandma got adorably excited when her family surprised her with a four-legged friend! Watch the touching video below to see a dog-loving dad tearing up over his brand new puppy.

Golden retrievers are some of the sweetest dogs on Earth. But this golden retriever has a streak of stubbornness running through him when he realizes he’s at the vet! Lord Cartier is a beautiful dog who lives in North Carolina. His mom wanted to get him his check-up at the vet‚ but this golden retriever was too smart to go inside. This image is from YouTube. As one commenter on the video pointed out‚ “The last thing [golden retrievers] will ever do is flinch a single muscle in retaliation against his master. But‚ they sure know how to suddenly feel like a 1000-pound dog.” His owners then had to try to get him out of the car from the other side of the vehicle‚ and this stubborn pup promptly laid down. This golden retriever isn’t going anywhere — certainly not the vet! Another viewer of the hilarious clip created a caption for what Lord Cartier must’ve been thinking. “‘I may be a Golden Retriever Susan‚ but you‚ YOU‚ are a GOLDEN DECEIVER‚'” they commented. This dog is just too darn smart! Check out the video of this golden retriever stubbornly refusing to go to the vet below. The featured image for this post is from YouTube.
