I was shocked when this article was sent to me and I read it. Graphic? Since when did "vagina" or "insertion" or "female genitalia" become graphic or disturbing?
Yes, it might be disturbing to discuss children safety in the same paragraph as female masturbation, but it is discussing body safety, child safety and the overall well being of women and children. So I don't really figure how this could be considered disturbing?

We were able to get a copy of the controversial (and discarded) amendment to state Sen. Sharon Nelson’s (D-34) toxic toys bill.
As we reported in Fizz this morning, state Rep. David Taylor (R-15, Moxee) tried to add an amendment that would have added sex toys to the list of products that couldn’t use toxics known as TRIS.
We asked Nelson what was wrong with Taylor’s amendment—embarrassing as dildos may be to talk about, isn’t women’s safety a legit issue?
Nelson called Taylor’s amendment distracting. “This is a distraction from what I’m trying to do with this bill,” Nelson says, “which is protecting children and babies.” She says Taylor’s amendment is “out of scope” and if he wants to deal with that issue, he should do it with a separate bill.
“I’m dealing with 16 industry lobbyists [against the toxic toys bill] right now,” she says, “and we don’t need this distraction.”
Again, we have a call in to Rep. Taylor.
Nelson also said, “frankly, the language was so graphic that female legislative staffers were having trouble with it.”
Here’s the language:
2SSB 6120 – H COMM AMD ,
