LOGAN, Utah (AP) - A 76-year-old woman has been barred from the bus station after giving unwanted birth-control advice to mothers with large families. "I think it's wrong. It's a violation of my First Amendment rights," Laura Stevens said.

She was arrested Tuesday for trespassing, a misdemeanor, according to police records.

"She's been making comments to some of the Hispanic passengers that they should be on the pill, that they're taking over our society," said Todd Beutler, general manager of the Cache Valley Transit District.

"The passengers have a right to ride and not be intimidated," he said.

4. This isn't a birth control issue

she was making racist remarks to other passengers, which made the women she's talking to feel harassed and intimidated.

5. In UTAH ? ? ?

Home of Mormans with big familys? Yea, right.

Her comments were racist. If she lives in Morman country, any Morman country, she is use to seeing big families.

I hope she has caring family members who can help her with the challenges of growing older.
