In Washington state, a group of teens taking part in Planned Parenthood’s annual Teen Lobbying Day visited their lawmakers in the state capitol and one Republican lawmaker asked the teens if they were virgins and suggested one was not, according to Rachel Todd, a Planned Parenthood worker accompanying the kids.
“After she made the statement about virginity, all of my teens looked at me,” said Todd, an education specialist for Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho. “And I said, ‘You don’t have to answer that. You don’t have to answer that.’”
The lawmaker, Mary Dye (R — Pomeroy), then gave her opinions about sex and making the right choices.
While “I appreciated their time and professionalism,” Dye, 54, wrote in prepared remarks, “I shared with them that I did not support the issues they were advocating for.”
Apparently, Dye did not have that same level of professionalism as the much younger teen lobbyists.
