Perhaps a little more research is in order

How embarrassing is this for a legislator being touted as one of the Republicans' rising stars?

State Rep. Robin Vos, R-Caledonia, is the co-sponsor of a bill, AB-285, that would allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions if they have moral objections. The so-called "pharmacists' conscience clause" could allow them to refuse to dispense so-called "morning-after pills" but also birth control pills.

Planned Parenthood Advocates has started an online ad campaign to point out his views to his constituents.

And Vos responds by saying he doesn't really know what that bill does, but will listen at a public hearing and then decide whether he supports it. His local newspaper reports:

Vos said a public hearing next month on the proposed bill, of which he is a sponsor, will help him decide whether the bill would damage a woman's right to get her birth control and if he will continue to support it.

"I would like to wait for the public hearing in September to see what the bill would do," said Vos, who was not immediately familiar with the bill and its objective.

Normally, that is something you'd do before you agree to be a sponsor.

By popular demand (two people), here is one more quote from the story:

Vos says the group has mistaken his take on birth control. "I'm a single guy," he said. "To say I am against birth control is to say I am against water."
