Slog - Comments on Sex-Ed Bill Busts a Move. But Will It Get to Second? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/sex_ed_bill_busts_a_move_but_will_it_get As it does every year, the sex-ed bill mandating that all sex-ed lessons be medically accurate and also stipulating that no curriculum can include abstinence-only education without also incuding info on contraception—like condoms—passed out of the house health committee today. It passed along party lines 8-4, with all the Democrats voting for it and all the Republicans voting against. Next, as it always does, it will pass the whole house. The real news will come when it gains traction in the senate. There is a senate version, but it doesn't have a hearing yet....

It passes the House and then fails in the Senate.

By the way, can we keep that gross baseball metaphor out of this?

I mean when a grossly overweight politician talks sports I am just reminded that they haven't done anything athletic in 20 years but have it in their minds they are hot jocks..... {{{ugh}}}
