This middle school pill issue has exposed something about the left’s worldview that everyone should keep in mind.

Now, there are some leftists (the secular socialists) that understand the “unintended” consequences and actively work to make them happen,

but in general, leftists can’t understand the concept of “incentives”.
(Aside: since free markets are based in incentives, they can’t understand them at all.)

But, back to the pill for 11 yr olds issue.
In general, the leftist thought process goes like this:

There are some who are making choice X, which will have consequence Y, which is undesirable. So, we must somehow alleviate consequence Y, since choice X is a given.

No thought or understanding is given to the idea that the existence of consequence Y is what keeps choice X from being made more often.

Then, when more of choice X occurs after their alleviation of the consequence, they slip into the “wow, it was more prevalent than we even thought it was!”.

These are the ignorant leftists - simply dangerously stupid, like an ape with a pistol.

Then there are the SS, the secular socialists, who use the opportunity to cause more chaos and destruction of society. They KNOW that there will be more destructive choices made if the personal consequences are removed, and revel in it.

Give the teachers the power of life an death and what drugs will they push next. May be they would want to provide drug addicts with their drug of choice. They might want to do away with a deformed child that was “missed” during the normal times for abortion. I do not trust this new age brand of teachers to teach let alone push drugs.

Health clinics in six Denver high schools should be allowed to dispense birth control and emergency contraceptive pills, according to a new report by a health task force.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Are these the same kids who are smart enough to find a good abortionist but whose parents are too dumb to use a voucher?

These busybodies start with the assumption that every teen pregnancy is accidental. That is not the case. They always make the case that making birth control available will prevent every teen pregnancy. But as long as there is a voluntary component that required the kids to use the birth control being offered, most of these pregnancies are still going to occur.

“But teenagers are sexually active, and teen pregnancy is one of the largest reasons for the dropout of girls from high schools.”

_______

There a few was to prevent this. If they are going to have sex ed in public schools they should also have a parenting class. Bring in a local day care.

First class of the day, diaper changing, fully loaded.

Second, screaming a wailing, make it stop.

This should be done, everyday, for one week.

Now, tell them that no birth control is 100% effective. I think the message would sink in quick.

Any guesses as to what the reaction will be when one of these kids dies from a blood clot?

Parents should shoulder this, it is time to get sex education/health care out of the public schools.
