Missouri "Teen Endagerment Act"

While I support abstinence sex education, I emphasize that this education should be inclusive within comprehensive sex education. NO scientific, empirical evidence supports the claims of the Ridiculous Reich's stance that abstinence-only education reduces the rates of teen pregnancy, STI's or abortion rates. On the contrary, evidence proves it in fact does NOT work.
Also, sneaky snakes are at work: This bill is so obviously ideologically driven. So, the "lifelong monogomous marriage between a man and a woman" transparently eliminates an entire group of people: Gays and lesbians. When these abstinence-only classes are taught, they teach that we are to wait until marriage. But how funny that gays can not marry. So, they must not have sex. EVER. Unless they are lucky enough to live in Massachusetts.
So, what these loons hope...gays will be celibate until they have allowed Jesus to save their retched, sodomizing souls.
By the way, I wasn't aware sodomy was a homosexual-only activity. I guarantee the homophobs who insist sodomy is evil are the ones who are bangin prostitutes in the arse.

The Missouri House on Tuesday voted 92-61 to preliminarily approve a bill (HB 1075) that would require students attending public schools to obtain permission slips from their parents or legal guardians before attending sex education classes, the AP/Belleville News Democrat reports.

The measure also would ban abortion providers from providing any instruction or class materials for sex education courses (Franck, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 4/25).

Sex education classes also would have to advocate for "lifelong monogamous marriage between a man and a woman" and state that "at conception, an unborn child's life begins."

The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Cynthia Davis (R), originally would have eliminated a state requirement that school districts that have sex education classes include sexually transmitted infection and contraception information, replacing it with a requirement that schools inform students that information on STIs and contraception is available from their physicians. However, the contraception and STI requirement was reinstated in the bill through an amendment introduced by state Rep. Ryan Silvey (R) (Hoover, Kansas City Star, 4/26).
