The amendment was proposed by first-term Rep. Stuart Spitzer, R-Kaufman. During debate over the proposal, we found out that Spitzer was a virgin when he married his wife at age 29, and she’s the only woman he’s had sex with. He didn’t specify if he ever had sex with a man. Coming to his defense was Scott Turner, R- Frisco, who said we can never have enough absti- nence education money. Turner challenged Rep.
