Along the lines of YOUR representatives at work, righties:
Quote:

The GOP-controlled Legislature in Arkansas, a state notorious for having the highest rate of teen pregnancies in the country, recently decided that it doesn’t have quite enough maternity prom dress stores by passing a bill that kills a comprehensive sex education program in the state’s public high schools.

Rep. Gary Stubblefield (R-Branch), introduced a bill which aims to ax all state-funded HIV and STI prevention programs in the state’s public schools, of which Planned Parenthood is the administer. Thus, giving poignant new meaning to ‘spilling the Arkansauce.’

The bill evidently passed the Senate by a vote of 19 to 11 and it now moves to a vote in the state House of Representatives where it’s sure to pass. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/04/13/arkansas-gop-votes-to-ax-sex-e
d-in-state-with-highest-teen-pregnancy-rate/


The bill's purpose is to kill Planned Parenthood in the state, which it will. But they're happy to do all the above in order to do so. As the author cracks: "If you’re looking for funding in these states, you better hold up a sign that reads “former fetus.” Of course that wouldn't help, because you'd just be a FORMER fetus...

One more time, WHY didn't we let them secede?? Seriously?
