“To sit there and say that this does not exist in Idaho libraries is patently false,” said Rep. Brent Crane, R-Nampa, who called the bill good policy. “If it doesn’t, you have nothing to be afraid of.”
Brent Crane also pointed out that this was the third year the Idaho Legislature has sought bills to regulate materials in Idaho libraries.
At one point, Crane decided the time for soft serve had come and gone. “Why are we fighting so hard to put obscene material in front of our children?” said Crane, R-Nampa, chiding bill opponents.
In a Saturday interview, Crane clarified that he supports contraception, including IUDs, and would not support hearings banning contraception generally. Instead, he said that he has heard of safety concerns with emergency contraceptives, like Plan B, and abortion pills, and would therefore be willing to hold hearings about them.
