State lawmaker in Olympia (R-Duh!) asks visiting teens if they’re virgins

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/state-lawmaker-asks-teens-about-their-virginity/

Walking into a meeting Monday morning with state Rep. Mary Dye, a group of Eastern Washington high-school students didn’t expect to be asked about their virginity.

But visiting as part of Planned Parenthood’s annual Teen Lobbying Day, the group of about a half-dozen got that question from Dye, a Republican lawmaker from Pomeroy, Garfield County.

After the students — part of a Pullman-area teen council chapter of Planned Parenthood visiting their lawmakers — advocated for bills that propose to expand insurance coverage for birth control, Dye did some advocating of her own.

Dye asked if the students were virgins and suggested one was not, according to the students and Rachel Todd, a Planned Parenthood worker accompanying the kids.

At best, they're just sexually frustrated themselves. At worst, they're possible sex offenders.
