House Bill 6068 was introduced late on 11/12/2024 with plans to rush the bill through before the end of the 2024 legislative session.
This bill will:
- Allow sex education classes to teach children where and how to obtain an abortion.
- Remove teaching that abstinence is a healthy lifestyle for non-married persons.
- Remove all references to “family planning” and replace with “sexual health.”
- Include information on all FDA approved contraceptives and all “legally available pregnancy outcomes,” which includes types of abortion available.
- Require teaching about sexual orientation, gender expression, and various gender relationships.
Though there is a provision of the bill allowing parents to “opt out” their children from these classes, there is no alternative course that would teach biologically based sexual education.
Help spread the word! Call or email your legislator and let them know that:
- You opposed targeting minor children with abortion information in schools!
- You oppose teaching various gender relationships as part of sex ed.
Please fill out this form and urge your legislator to reject HB 6068 and vote NO to protect children and parental consent.
