“Condoms For Kiddies Bill” Bagged By Senate Committee

HB-380 was a short and sweet Maryland House Bill that repealed the prohibition on the sale of Contraceptives and Contraceptive Devices by Vending Machines in Schools.

The first paragraph of the Bill reads:

FOR the purpose of repealing the prohibition on and criminal penalty related to the sale of certain contraceptives and contraceptive devices by means of a

vending machine or other automatic device at certain schools; and generally relating to the sale of contraceptives and contraceptive devices in school.

 BY repealing

 Article – Criminal Law

 Section 10–105

Annotated Code of Maryland

(2021 Replacement Volume and 2024 Supplement)

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:

Article – Criminal Law

A person may not sell or offer for sale a contraceptive or a contraceptive device, whether or not advertised as a prophylactic, by means of a vending machine or other automatic device at a kindergarten, nursery school, or elementary or secondary school.

A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000 for each violation.

Each vending machine or other automatic device in a school is a separate violation.

AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED That this Act shall take effect October 1, 2025.

What we had here is a group of radical Democrats attempting to overturn a commonsense law that prohibits the sale of condoms and other contraceptives out of vending machines in schools.

“It makes no sense whatsoever,” said Maryland state Del. Kathy Szeliga Wednesday on “America Reports.” “You’re discriminating against traditional families that don’t want their 14-year-old daughter going to a high school and walking down the hall in front of a sex vending machine.”

The Maryland House of Delegates voted to advance legislation that would remove criminal penalties for selling contraception, such as condoms and birth control, through vending machines in public schools. Currently, violators face a $1,000 fine.

Szeliga and other critics advocated for amendments to restrict condom vending machines to high schools, but their attempts were unsuccessful.

“We offered an amendment on the bill… to just say look, just high schools,” Szeliga, a Republican, said. “But they rejected it.”

Imagine the arrogance of these morons. The Republicans actually offered to remove the penalties for high schools, but the Democrats refused that concession. Frankly, I would not have even offered that. Government has no right infringing in any way with the sexuality of students.

The Democrats’ refusal muted their argument. The legislation’s supporters insist that it is not about requiring schools to install condom vending machines but about removing outdated criminal penalties.

Democratic Maryland state Del. Nicole Williams lamely tried to defend the bill during a recent state general assembly session.

“It’s not dictating what school systems should and shouldn’t do. It’s not mandating anybody to do anything or suggesting that they should do something. It’s just removing a criminal penalty. The sky is not going to fall if we pass this bill.”

Nice try, but Szeliga saw right through that B.S.

“MD lawmakers have officially lost their minds. Condom vending machines in SCHOOLS—from preschools to high schools? Yes, you read that right. Thanks to HB 380, the ‘Condoms for Kiddies’ bill, your child’s elementary school could soon have a colorful condom machine in the hallway and middle schools will be a one-stop shop for birth control. What’s next, hormone therapy at recess? This is ideology over common sense. Parents, wake up!”

“They’re playing chess. First, we remove the penalties so we can get the vending machine in the high school and other schools as well, and then next year they’re going to come back, and they’re going to put birth control pills, Plan B, condoms.”

She added:

“With condoms and other things in it, and then having to have a conversation with a 7-year-old. You know, Mama, what’s a condom? What’s in that machine?’”

The Maryland Senate agreed. Earlier today, the Bill was unanimously rejected in the State Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee meeting.

Via press release, the Maryland Freedom Caucus called HB380 “one of the most extreme and unnecessary bills pushed by progressive lawmakers this session.”

“This is a huge win for Maryland families,” said Delegate Kathy Szeliga, Vice Chair of the Maryland Freedom Caucus. “The Maryland Freedom Caucus led the charge in exposing the radical nature of HB380, and today’s vote proves that even members of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee couldn’t defend it. Maryland parents have spoken, and lawmakers were forced to listen.”

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and cultural critic. He had a famous quote on insanity that stated:

“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”

It’s easy to spot the Democratic Party in that quote. Thank God, Sanity is returning. Not fast enough, but it is on its way.
