From the Racine Journal Times editorial
http://www.journaltimes.com/articles/2005/12/01/opinion/iq_3785517.txtAbstinence and the Wisconsin Legislature
Abstinence should definitely be encouraged in the Wisconsin Legislature. All of us would be better off if state politicians abstained from passing laws about things they know nothing about.
Republican legislators are about to pass a law requiring schools in the state to teach teenagers that sexual abstinence until marriage is the "preferred" behavior in Wisconsin.
Legislators actually believe they have a right to declare certain sexual activities - or, in this case, no sexual activity - the official behavior of our state much the same way they designate various species of wildlife the official state bird or the official state rodent.
At the same time politicians are telling everyone in our state not to have sexual relations unless they are married, they also are in the process of amending our Constitution to tell other people in our state they can never get married.

This is a real kick-ass editorial. But I'm confused. Isn't this a rather republican corner of the state?
