Quinn: I'd consider emergency birth control for middle school kids (New York)
NY Daily News ^ | august 21, 2013 | Nathan Place

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn on Tuesday opened the door to providing emergency contraception to city schoolkids as young as 11.

After receiving an endorsement for her mayoral campaign from Planned Parenthood’s New York political wing, Quinn said she’d support distributing the controversial birth control in middle schools if studies showed it would help kids.

“That may become a reality,” Quinn said. “You’d love to be in a place where that wasn’t a reality in middle-school children’s lives, but I think that we’re going to have to look at this, and if the data shows us that that is what would be most helpful, that is what we’ll do.”

What happens when a girl in school panics and misses a period even though she is not pregnant and takes an overdose of the pills and dies from the side effects??

But I guess they will need parental supervision for an aspirin....

So it’s not enough that feds allow any girl any age to go to Walgreens to buy this,

now idiots say the schools need to pay for it and provide it?

Seriously, RESET is needed more and more each day. It’s gotta happen same day and tens of millions of people must demand it and make it happen the same damn day.

This pro-abortion lesbian was Commencement Speaker at Fordham University in May.

Of all religious orders, the Jesuits are proving among the most enthusiastic for abortion.

Birth control pills should only be used in committed monogamous relationships. Any other usage scenario increases the female’s risk of contracting STDs.

A baby is a disease and gonorrhea is a rite of passage.

This woman cannot be this stupid. It’s pure ideology, and a pact with Evil.

I’d consider emergency retroactive birth control for City Council Speaker Christine Quinn

Why don’t they just take them to Planned Parenthood and pay for an abortion.

That’s the agenda anyway, right?

Maybe they should get rid of the horny pedophiles they call teachers.

It appears there isn’t a good candidate for mayor of NYC, so the libs there will just have to live with one of the rotten choices. Is there a Republican running? I guess that wouldn’t matter either because he/she would just be a NE liberal Republican. NY is a lost cause.
