The same kids who cannot be counted on to walk the dog, feed the gerbil, do their homework, etc. are going to be responsible enough to repeatedly take birth control medication (or day after pills) without consulting their regular doctor?
Let them drink, vote, and pay income taxes on baby sitting money, lawcare money, ebay sales, etc. Sign them up for the draft as well. So mature and ready to live life to the fullest!
Funny, I thought that in New York you need Cuomo’s permission to fire your gun.
Now we have tax funded Planned Parenthood passing out brochures to HIV/AIDS infected youth telling them not to tell their partners if this would deny them sex.
Which is a felony in all states isn't it?
How does a tax funded organization get away with regularly committing felonies?
The age of consent in NY is 17. Sounds like someone in authority is encouraging criminal behavior to continue without further investigation.

Exceptions to the age of consent rule
If one cannot consent to sexual relations before age 17, are children under age 17 guilty of rape or other sex offenses? The answer is yes and no.
New York’s law provides a number of exceptions to the age of consent rule. While a child under age 17 cannot legally consent to have sex, the older partner of that child may or may not face criminal charges, depending on the situation and the law’s exceptions.
No one may have sexual intercourse with a child under 11 years old. Hence, an 11-year-old who has sex with a 10-year-old would be guilty of rape in the first degree. That is an unlikely, but possible, scenario.
A person age 18 or older cannot have sex with a person under 13 years old under any circumstance. However, if the child is at least 13 and younger than 15, and if the adult is less than four years older than the child at the time of the sexual conduct, then that would release the adult defendant of criminal responsibility. Because this is an affirmative defense, the defendant, who usually carries no burden of proof at trial, has the burden of proving the age difference beyond a preponderance of the evidence (which is far less than the prosecution’s burden of proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt.) For example, if a 14-and-a-half-year-old girl agrees to have sex with a boy on his eighteenth birthday, the 18-year-old would have an affirmative defense of being less than four years older than the victim.
Further, a 17-year-old would not be guilty of rape of a 12-year-old if the younger child agreed to the act. The 17-year-old might be guilty of a misdemeanor sexual offense, however.
But if a 17-year-old turns 18 before his or her partner turns 14, then as of the older child’s eighteenth birthday, the sexual relations would be considered rape. This can be very disconcerting to the children and parents. It presents a scenario where sexual behavior that was legal on one day is be completely illegal the next.
So much wiggle room.
LOL, you have me there...
