Leah Vukmir on Families & Children |
Tammy Baldwin (D): Yes. Supreme Court decision was "a victory for freedom, fairness & equality."
Leah Vukmir (R): No. Defended WI law only recognizing marriages between 1 man & 1 woman.
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; State Rep. Leah Vukmir voted NO; Passed Senate 18-15-0 on Jan/28/10; Signed by Governor Jim Doyle
