Fresno High School has changed a lot since I attended back in the 90s. The new breastfeeding room communicates to parenting teens that they are worthy of our support, our care, and our respect.

The answer should be "no." Yet that's the issue in a case the ACLU recently filed in California.

Rebecca's doctor said yes. Her hospital said no. The hospital didn't say the procedure wasn't safe. The hospital said the procedure violated its ethical and religious principles.

Today we filed a lawsuit challenging Dignity Health’s use of religious directives to deny basic reproductive health care to its patients.

Used tape. A dirty toothbrush. A rose with no petals. A chewed up piece of gum. The list goes on. Abstinence-only sex ed programs are notorious for using tragically bad sex metaphors to push their harmful agenda. Parents in Redding, California recently learned that their eighth-graders’ school would be teaching that “sex is like a fire” —dangerous and scary, outside the “fireplace” of marriage.

For years, students in Fresno have been fighting to get comprehensive sex ed curriculum in their schools. And now that dream is a reality, thanks to Fresno Unified's school board.

UPDATE! Gov. Brown has signed AB 302!
