Utah GOP bans sex education...

I'd love to ask this Bill Wright two questions, under oath:

1. Are you married?

2. Were you a virgin when you got married?



Utah GOP Passes Bill to Ban Sex Education

A bill passed by Republicans in the Utah House of Representatives would effectively ban comprehensive education about human sexuality, forcing schools to teach abstinence or nothing at all.

In all, 45 Republicans voted for state Rep. Bill Wright's (R) HB363, with 11 Republicans joining the 17 Democrats who opposed it, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

The bill forbids advocating for "the use of contraceptive methods or devices," sex outside marriage or homosexuality. It also restricts teaching about sexual intercourse or erotic behavior.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the state that ranks number one in online porn consumption.

•A sexually active teen who does not use a contraceptive has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within a year.[8]

•The majority of sexually experienced teens (78% of females and 85% of males) used contraceptives the first time they had sex.[5]

talking to their own children about contraceptives. Of course, they think that any parent must be religious and a conservative. SURPRISE!!!!!!o
