If you're talking about the RCC, you're wrong again.

Feel free to insert what ever religion you choose.

I don't expect a substantive answer from you, again.

I know of no religion to which your assertion pertains. Why should you get a substantive answer when you don't even bother to know about the religions you criticize?

To be more exact, Hoops's indignation about the medical termination of pregnancy

You mean abortion, right?

is not directly relevant to this thread,

I didn't bring it up.

except in so far as the wider use of contraception by couples having intercourse without a wish to conceive would be likely to reduce the phenomenon that she dislikes.

You say something about mind reading?

I deliberately refrain from expressing an opinion on the medical termination of pregnancy in itself,

Of course you don't.

either directly or through my choice of words, so as to allow her to take the thread further off-topic by giving us an exhibition of her mind-reading skills.

I didn't bring it up.

EDITED TO ADD:

Here is a link to the bill itself:

You are right on the contraception question.

Legislature Passes a Bill to Allow Schools to Drop Sex Ed

The Legislature gave final passage Tuesday to a bill that would let schools skip teaching sex education and prohibit instruction in the use of contraception.

And just to remind us of the OP again ...

Anyone got anything to say on that topic?

I think the general consensus is that it was a poor move on the Utah legislature's part...particularly since it appears that the majority of parents WANTED the curriculum for their children.

Hoops made a good point a while back about the school board. If this was a concern for parents, the legislature should have left it in the hands of the school board to hold a meeting with parents and discuss how the curriculum should be changed. That is the normal procedure for these types of concerns.

Let the school board handle it. They are the elected officials who parents have chosen to action such issues. The legislature needs to keep the hands off of it, and stand by their supposed party principle of less government is best.
