'It's helping children 7-12 understand sexual violence or 'no means no.''
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Democrat and Republican sponsors are determined to push the bill forward, now challenging the beliefs of those who don't want House Bill 105.
They emphasize that this legislation is catered to age groups and would be taught in an appropriate matter depending on age. Erin's Law is based on Erin Merryn, a childhood sexual abuse survivor turned activist. Her law has already passed in 37 different states, starting in 2009. Many supporters of this bill have come to give testimony, including survivors, rape crisis centers, children advocacy groups and Merryn herself.
There have been just a few outspoken opponents of the bill. They are the eight House representatives who voted no and the Center for Christian Virtue . The organization was not available to do an interview but did provide a comment. Kelly agreed, citing that sexual education is clearly not the same thing as child sexual abuse prevention.
