Wisconsin Democrats rip plan to repeal mandatory contraceptive instruction

Democrats blasted a Republican proposal Wednesday to dismantle a state law that requires schools that offer sex education to include contraceptives in their lessons, branding the measure hypocritical and irresponsible during a testy public hearing… The committee's chairman, Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, said the panel wouldn't vote on the bill Wednesday, but debate over the measure continued for several hours. (AP, 10/20)
