CONCORD, N.H. -- The fear that transgender individuals would be able to use any bathroom prompted House lawmakers to kill legislation extending legal protections to them in New Hampshire.

Opponents, led by the Republican Party, had called it the "bathroom bill" based on their argument it would open all bathrooms to men and women.

Supporters argued transgender individuals are using the bathrooms now and needed the job protections the bill would provide.

The House voted 181-149 to kill the bill.
