2. Just what we need--another "natural family planning" legislator
from the St. Cloud article:

"Ek maintains that she has lived in St. Cloud since 1968 and that the St. Paul home — owned by her parents, David and Catherine Ek — was the office of BOMA-USA, a nonprofit family-planning organization. She is BOMA-USA's executive director ... Neighbors in St. Paul complained to the city June 28 about the number of vehicles parked outside the Niles Avenue home during BOMA-USA's natural family-planning classes."


House DFLer Mary Ellen Otremba, the legislature's WORST anti-choice, anti-family-planning, anti-birth-control zealot, also is a natural family planning "teacher" and has tried in the past to get legislation passed dedicating a percentage of state family planning funds for "natural family planning." Sadly, no one ever called her on this blatant conflict of interest. Otremba also has authored legislation that would permit pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions if it conflicted with their beliefs for any reason.

With any luck this Sue Ek liar will get drummed out of the race before we end up with another one like Otremba at the capitol.
