The Kept In The Dark Act

Birth control—it's the surefire way to cut down on unwanted pregnancies, abortions and sexually transmitted infections. And no matter what else their values, making sure that birth control and education about birth control is widely available and affordable should be among the priorities of health advocates from the left and the right. It might be logical, but that doesn't mean it's happening. Instead, right-wing legislatures are—again—taking steps to keep young women from taking control of their bodies and making responsible choices. This time, their tool is called the Parents Right To Know Act.
