State Senator Kevin Eltife Wants Texas Legislature To Discuss Regulation Of Condoms On College Campuses


-snip-

In an interview with KLTV, Tyler’s ABC affiliate which aired Tuesday night, Eltife said he was concerned about free condoms being distributed by the student health clinic at the University of Texas at Tyler, especially that some may have been paid for with tax dollars, since the University Health Clinic at UT-Tyler is operated by the University of Texas Health Center at Tyler:

Is it a proactive health measure, or an encouragement for students to have sex? U.T. Health Clinic’s practice of making free condoms available to student patients came as a shock to Senator Kevin Eltife.

“If it’s such a good deal, why don’t we talk about it, why don’t we debate it,” said Senator Eltife. “Let’s debate it on campus. Let’s get input from the parents, and the students, and the people who are supporting U.T. Health Center in Tyler and the entire system. Let’s talk about it in the legislature, let’s get it out on the table and discuss it. If it’s a great idea and a great concept, let’s get it out on the table and discuss it.”

The story, aired by of the state’s most conservative local television station (well-known for its “” segments), is the first of a two-part series addressing condom distribution by the UT Health Center clinic on the campus of UT Tyler. Part two is scheduled to air Wednesday night.

whoever elected Kevin should be ashamed

bottom line: condoms prevent pregnancy, condoms prevent some kinds of STDs

condoms benefit WOMEN the most.

1. "Let's get input from the parents"?

Last I checked college kids were 18+ years old-adults by legal standards. I am so glad I live in central Texas. Seems it's the only place where sanity prevails in this state.

4. As a resident of north Texas, I take issue with that statement:

I don't think that sanity PREVAILS in central Texas, either.

2. He doesn't need a debate. All he needs to do is an inexpensive

anonymous ppoll of all the UT students with ONE QUESTION. Are you sexually active? __yes __no

If the yes responses dramatically surpass the no's, he's got his answer.

3. Let's get input from the penis ...

and leave it at that.
