TheBlaze has learned that a key committee in the Florida legislature has agreed to take up a bill proposed by a conservative lawmaker that, if passed, would outlaw injecting children with puberty blockers and performing sex-change surgeries on them in the state.
Members of the Health Quality Subcommittee will debate Republican Rep. Anthony Sabatini’s “Vulnerable Child Protection Act” on Monday. Sabatini’s legislation would make it a crime for doctors to perform surgeries on children that “sterilize” them, alter their genitals, or inject them with controversial “puberty blockers.”
Under the new law, medical professionals who perform said procedures would face felony charges, fines, and imprisonment.
Sabatini said the new statute is needed to protect the Sunshine State’s children from left-wing activists performing “dangerous social experiments” on underage minors.
In an interview with TheBlaze, the conservative Republican lawmaker from Central Florida noted that “80 percent of children who experience gender dysphoria outgrow it, but radical leftists want to make it permanent with dangerous medical procedures simply to further a political agenda.” – READ MORE

When Biden starts getting questioned about whether his campaign is dead, how many pushups will he threaten to do in response? #IowaCaucuses — Benjamin Weingarten (@bhweingarten) February 4, 2020
UPDATE: As it turns out, tech snafus and ‘human error’ weren’t solely to blame for last night’s caucus catastrophe. A columnist for the Iowa Gazette reported that new rules introduced for this year’s caucus, plus a lack of clarity on the rules of the esoteric ritual apparently prompted some local precinct supervisors to make illegal decisions about supporters of ‘non-viable’ candidates joining together.
After the Warren campaign spent hours instructing its precinct captains in the arcane rules of the caucus, some wondered whether nonpartisan volunteers in charge of the process had received adequate training.
“Are you going to report how this was a (beep) show?” asked Megan Lange, a Warren supporter. “If this is going on in other caucuses, how reliable is it?”
“We had to do two hours of training so we knew how it was supposed to work,” said Diane Bean, another Warren backer, who wondered whether volunteers were trained well enough.
“This is like a badly organized middle school assembly,” Harris said. “As a young voter, this is very disappointing.”
CNN bro, without evidence, suggests the Democratic Iowa caucuses are not rigged. https://t.co/xGEf31lvI0 — Matt Wolking (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@MattWolking) February 4, 2020
I know it’s tempting to make jokes… or insinuations. But there is absolutely no evidence that there is anything untoward happening in Iowa. Calling elections “rigged” without any evidence boosts conspiracy theories and destroys trust in democracy. Don’t do it. — Yascha Mounk (@Yascha_Mounk) February 4, 2020
The circumstances in Mario will likely lead to Warren challenging the results.
Volunteers messed up. And their late efforts to pull Marion 5 out of the dumpster fire might have fared better if more people had waited to go from being caucusgoers to home-goers. By the time the problem was identified, too few Democrats remained in the gym for a replay call.
“We regret the confusion,” said Barb Wild, a caucus volunteer. She encouraged Warren supporters to document the problems so lessons can be learned. A complaint is likely.
The takeaway: Even once they’ve finished counting the votes, millions of Americans will likely refuse to recognize this as a legitimate reflection of the ‘will of the people’. – READ MORE
