Kelda Helen Roys on Families & Children

 

 


For paid family/medical leave, affordable childcare

The lack of affordable childcare is causing some young people to decide not to have children, or to have fewer children then they would like--an outcome none of us should find acceptable.

Wisconsin needs to help every child get a great start in life, and ensure that parents are able to support their families while being present for the moments that matter most, with paid family and medical leave, affordable childcare, and high quality after school programs.

Allow contraceptives to be discussed in sex ed classes

Legislative Summary: AB458: This bill provides that a school board may offer an instructional program in human growth and development. The bill requires that the program address [among other things] the health benefits, side effects, and proper use of contraceptives and barrier methods approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

The Madison Isthmus analysis: The bill is opposed by Wisconsin Right to Life and Wisconsin Family Action. In a memo to legislators, Wisconsin Right to Life legislative director Susan Armacost states: "AB-458 would require that students be taught about a number of activities that could endanger their health and could result in a growing number of teen sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancies and abortions."

Legislative Outcome:Passed Assembly 51-45-3 on Jan/28/10; Passed Senate 18-15-0 on Jan/28/10; Kelda Roys voted YES; signed by Gov. Doyle on Feb/24/10
