Vos: Do as I say, not as I do; Abstinence for you, water for me

When we last looked in on State Rep. Robin Vos, R-Caledonia, you may recall that he was trolling for women on an Internet dating site, describing himself as a self-employed guy who just wanted to have a little fun.

Then he got some flak from Planned Parenthood for sponsoring a bill that could allow pharmacists to refuse to sell birth control pills. Vos said he would have to look into that, explaining, ""I'm a single guy. To say I am against birth control is to say I am against water."

That brings us to another bill he's sponsoring, which will get a hearing in the Senate Education committee on Thursday. The bill is from the Just Say No school of sex education.

It basically says that schools must spend more time on abstinence than on any other issue in sex education, and that abstinence from sexual activity is the preferred choice of behavior in relationships for unmarried people. Once teenagers hear that from a teacher, they probably won't even think of having sex. Why didn't someone think of this earlier?

Maybe it's time to check back with Vos on whether he's still in favor of water.
