Columnist Shawn Vestal of The Spokesman-Review takes state Rep. Mary Dye, R-Pomeroy, to task for “asking a group of Pullman teens who were lobbying for Planned Parenthood if they were virgins, and apparently suggesting that one was not.” Comments Vestal: “There is something about a teenage girl talking about birth control that drives certain kind of thinkers straight out of the underbrush and into the open, where they reveal more clearly than usual just whose business they think that girl’s private life is.” Full column here.

Question: What would you do if a legislator asked your daughter or son if s/he was a virgin?
