Legislator asks teens about virginity

A Washington state lawmaker has apologized after asking a group of teenagers about their virginity during a meeting. The Seattle Times reported Monday that Republican Rep. Mary Dye, of Pomeroy in rural southeastern Washington, was meeting with about six high school students from the Pullman-area teen council chapter of Planned Parenthood when she posed the question. The students and a Planned Parenthood worker accompanying them said the lawmaker asked if the students were virgins - and suggested that one was not - after they lobbied for expanded insurance coverage of birth control/ KHQ via Seattle Times.
