Abstinence-Only Sex Education Bill In Utah Prohibits Teaching Contraception
(couldn't see this had been posted here; another battle in the War on Women, Freedom, the Environment and much else)
The state House passed HB 363 in a 45-28 vote following extensive debate. The bill -- which now goes on to the state Senate -- would lift the current requirement that all public schools must teach sex ed in grades 8 through 12. If the bill passes, districts would decide whether to offer sex ed classes that teach an abstinence-only curriculum, or not offer the course at all. Republican state Rep. Bill Wright sponsored the proposal.
"We've been culturally watered down to think we have to teach about sex, about having sex and how to get away with it, which is intellectually dishonest," Wright said, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. "Why don't we just be honest with them upfront that sex outside marriage is devastating?"
The version of the bill that passed through the state House Wednesday would prohibit any instruction in contraception, though teachers would be allowed to answer student questions about safe sex.

So he not only wants people to never have sex before marriage, he wants them churning out babies like a production line when they are married.

My talent and friend Brian Cummings(Mormon) has 7 or 9 children.
After their last child it was diagnosed that if his wife had another child it would most likely kill her.
"My wife likes to be pregnant." He said to me
So there was a vasectomy or tube tying or maybe both.
I like his wife and some or all of their children... hard to say how many of them I have met????? 7 or 9 one of those odd numbers.?????
They took steps to insure that their children had a Mommy and a big huge tall bearded funny wonderful Daddy.
I miss you Brian. I would give most of my wealth just to work with you again. Plus 10% and P/W. (That is an inside AFTRA joke)
