Now I Have Heard It All - Contraception Gateway To Sex [View all]

I appears that there is a bill in Tennessee to teach abstinence only when many in the targeted age group are already involved. They hold the idea that contraceptive practices are a "gateway to sex". Probably like marijuana is a gateway to hard drugs. So I guess the police will be seizing birth control pills and other devices. Can we get any more stupid in the 21st century. The rest of the world must think we are just plain nuts.
