GOP Lawmaker Straight-Up Asks A Group Of Teenagers If They're Virgins

[dixiegrrrrl]

Washington state Rep. Mary Dye (R) asked a group of teenagers visiting her office in Olympia for a Teen Lobbying Day if they were virgins, according to a Tuesday report from The Seattle Times.

The students, who were accompanied by a Planned Parenthood representative, were advocating for expanded insurance coverage for birth control, according to the report.

During their meeting, the Republican lawmaker asked the half-dozen students if they were virgins before she "suggested one was not," according to the Times. The Planned Parenthood representative, Rachel Todd, told the students they didn't have to answer Dye's question.

A Washington House Republicans spokesman confirmed Dye's line of questioning to the newspaper, and Dye herself later issued an apology.
