"I'm extremely disappointed," state Sen. Mike Thompson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday morning. "We've tried now three times to get a bill to protect these kids, so that they they are not guided into making a decision that changes their lives permanently."

"The House has been a reliable partner in this up until now, so I don't know what was going through the minds of those two representatives who caved in yesterday, but it was another gut punch for us, unfortunately," he said.
