Republicans block vote on birth control education

Nov. 3, 2009 | Madison — Democrats tried to pass a bill Tuesday that would require schools that teach sex education to instruct students about birth control, but Republicans blocked final passage of the measure.

Republicans offered amendments - rejected by Democrats - that would have required schools to teach students about fetal development and the potential for criminal charges against underage students for having sex.

"It's a criminal offense" to have sex with anyone under 16, Rep. Daniel LeMahieu (R-Cascade) said. "I think it's appropriate we teach those kids what those criminal penalties are."

Democrats who control the Assembly gave preliminary approval to the bill, but Republicans used a procedural maneuver to block final passage.

The Assembly will now take up the issue Thursday, the last day the house plans to meet this year. The Senate, which is also controlled by Democrats, is expected to follow suit early next year. Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle hasn't said whether he supports the measure. »Read Full Article" NewsWatch - JSOnline

If democrats in Madison control both the assembly and the state senate, why don't they just pass it? They have the votes! I am only going off the article so I will say there must of been some democrats not for this bill and the media here is just blaming republicans. Funny we don't get the whole story.
