We strongly condemn the disinformation aimed to undermine CSE and block the passage of the urgently needed Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) bill (Senate Bill 1979). Rooted in bigotry and a skewed sense of morality, these attacks intentionally misrepresent facts and use sensationalism to create unwarranted fear and division among the public, particularly, the parents of our children.
