Ohio Republican lawmakers pass bill that includes requiring schools to teach when to have kids

Ohio lawmakers have passed a bill that would require schools to teach students to graduate high school, get a job, and get married — in that order — before having a baby. They call this order of events the success sequence.

Ohio Senate Bill 276 passed 58-36 during Wednesday’s House session and the Ohio Senate concurred with the changes made to the bill later that night before going on summer break.

Ohio Republican state Reps. Haraz Ghanbari, Gayle Manning, and Jason Stephens joined Ohio House Democrats in voting against the bill.

State Sen. Kristina Roegner, R-Hudson, introduced the bill, which originally began as legislation that would allow Ohio to join the Interstate Compact for School Psychologists, which allows licensed professionals to provide services across state lines.

2. Because in their view, young women should be punished for having pre-marital sex.

Unless of course an older man rapes and impregnates a 16 year old. Then she gets to become his bride!

These people are sick, sick, sick.

One would think Republicans would have wanted women to pop out the children as soon as they are physically able.
