Bill Barring Mention of Contraceptives OK'd

6. I'm all for this.

Because I believe in local control of education, in principle I am all for Utahans deciding for themselves how they want to operate their education system.

Of course, I don't agree with much of anything that is in this legislation as reported.

Let the poor folks in Utah suffer the consequences of their own actions ... that is how democracy is supposed to work. It is only that way that they may ever come to a realization that it might be to their benefit to join the 21st century.

Furthermore, if this legislation becomes law, it will be interesting to watch Utah as a laboratory for this kind or retrograde policy. My prediction is that within a very few years, even with the LDS theology on human reproduction and morals, the single teen birthrate will soar, their 'welfare' and Medicaid costs will soar, their STD rate will soar, etc. --- and this law would be repealed.
