THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

DEPO-PROVERA FOR 11-YEAR OLD GIRLS IN NYC?

Christine Quinn


Quinn may OK morning-after contraceptive pill for 11-year-old middle-school girls
It "can make some people uncomfortable," but City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says she's open to allowing middle-school girls as young as 11 to receive the morning-after contraceptive pill.
"This is a really important option we need to make accessible," Quinn said yesterday after receiving a mayoral endorsement from the Planned Parenthood of New York City Political Committee.
"I understand it can make some people uncomfortable. We need to recognize the reality of what’s happening in children's lives and give them what they need to make the right choices and protect themselves," Quinn added.
Quinn had previously supported dispensing Plan B pills to high-school girls in a first-of-its-kind pilot program started by the Bloomberg administration last year.
Both regular birth-control pills and emergency contraception became available to students as young as 14 without parental notification.
Parents were given the option of opting out — but only 3 percent did, according to the Health Department.
Quinn said an expansion to middle schools might be necessary down the road.

  1. Quinn talks like there aren't any other options available for ELEVEN YEAR OLD GIRLS!!! So taxpayers have to support any 'extracurricular' activities of CHILDREN by paying for birth control/abortion pills?! JESUS CHRIST! (Excuse my French). I'm to believe only 3% of NYC parents opted out of this "wonderful, educational" program?! The accelerating decline of morality and responsibility along with the cheapening of life in American culture cannot have a good ending. We truly are amusing ourselves to death.

  2. Agreed
    PLUS.......
    When you talk about an 11, 12 year old it is a matter of a Child molestation CRIME, not about "Rights to have m.a.pills given sexually active teens in shool".
    If an 11, 12 year old is pregnant they were coerced or attacked. A VERYserious crime occurred-that's what matters and has to be dealth with immediately.

    To put in perspective.... a child molester would love this idea..... The 11, 12 year old child gets pill..... (doesn't share who molester is) , returns to where ever child lives and is molested again and again......... works great for the molester.
