Just weeks after a prominent health-care expert predicted that Democrats would begin a nationwide push for taxpayer-funded contraception for schoolgirls, including abortion-inducing drugs, Virginia is proving to be the next battleground.
The idea started in a Colorado pilot program, in which teenage girls were given contraceptives including implanted abortafacients known as long-acting reversible contraceptives, or LARCs, and intra-uterine devices, also called IUDs. The program showed marked reductions in teenage births and reported abortions. Efforts then began to enact a taxpayer-funded version of the program, but it died in the Colorado Legislature over conscience and religious liberty concerns.
Writing in the Washington Post, Virginia Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, who is also a pediatric neurologist, hailed the Colorado numbers as a proven way to bring teenage pregnancies way down.
Over the past six years, Colorado observed a 40 percent decline in teen births and a 42 percent decline in teen abortions based on an innovative program that provided education, counseling, administrative support and long-acting, reversible contraceptives (LARCs) to providers and patients upon request,” wrote Northam.
“These long-acting birth control methods, which include intrauterine devices (IUDs), injectables and implants, can last up to 10 years. They have a failure rate of less than 1 percent compared with condoms and the pill, which have failure rates of around 18 percent and 9 percent respectively,” added Northam.
Northam made it very clear he wants Virginia to go down the same road.
“This is an issue Virginia needs to consider for the health of women of all ages, the health of our infants and the fiscal well-being of our commonwealth,” he said.

someday getting pregnant and getting an abortion will be mandatory for graduating school.
If all this is really about the overpopulation of the earth and curbing the population, they need to REALLY focus on latin American and Muslim countries. They push out babies by the truckloads.
Well, it’s wrong.
But for crying out loud — why can’t we do this wrong thing in places like Guatemala, Uganda, Mumbai and Banda Aceh?
AH!.. their answer to the marketing of liquified BABYS...
BABY soup in hand creams, shampoo and other things..
Inter-uterine devices.. have be available for many years..
FINALLY the democrats have found out about them...
-OR- weak damage control for the Videos of Planned Parenthood..
{SPIT} If you’re a democrat you should be ashamed..
IF NOT.... I _____ and ______ and ______ and even _____.
Of course the attack is on GIRLS ... who they can push around with impunity.
How about we just give boys vasectomies starting at age 13?
After all, the assumptions are the same, that they are just going to have sex anyway so ... ends justify the means.
I’m completely serious about this. I am furious about the relentless attack on girls and women. This is the real war on women (and girls). Let’s just dope them up or surgical them up right?. No problem. After all, ends justify the means. And they are just silly little girls after all.
Didn’t they try the iud thing back in the 80s and end killing a bunch of girls?
Illegal immigrants first... Make the citizens pay for them.....
Of course the Dims wouldn’t like it if it was done this way....
IUDs besides inducing spontaneous abortion can lead to PERMANENT STERILITY and in some cases DEATH of the the mother.
Quite a racket the left runs.
Yes, that’s a lot of what this about.
But notice. They NEVER EVER suggest that men have to do anything to reduce population.
Suggest that men contribute to population reduction and watch heads explode globally. This tells you the true agenda here ... to control women ... because they can.
I’m completely serious about this. I am furious about the relentless attack on girls and women.

My son in law is an athletic guy at a well known private boarding school, name and location withheld.
More than 75% of the boys are on medication for ADD, ADHD, or some variant.
To believe that there is a medication war on just girls is pretty short sighted.
Well the girls are more aggressive than the boys now. Perhaps mom’s should teach their girls a little more.
Coming up next, re-education camps for those who resist. Thanks UMCRevMom@aol.com.
Or else it will be mandatory for all teenage girls to have the devices inserted and replaced after 10-years by government-employed physicians.
Once inserted, a government permit will be required to have them removed to allow pregnancy.
It will be an EPA-imposed requirement as a way to preserve environmental sustainability by limiting population growth.
It will be called the "Life Quality Preservation Act."
I’d say don’t give them ideas.
But vasectomies are cheap and one time.
It has to be continuous and ongoing for a continuous and ongoing outlay of our money to these leftist racketeers.
Heck the left had stated that men won’t even be needed for reproduction in the near future.
In the realm of contraception there is.
You will NEVER EVER hear a proposal to medicate or surgically alter boys to prevent conception. The agenda here is very very clear
If we fail to secure the rights of families to forego vaccinations, guess what is next? Vaccinations used as medium for delivery of this new technology. I hope reasonable Freepers can see this...
It appears to me that three of the four girls in the picture are minorities. And that is the reason those in power in the one world government are for abortion. It’s not just for birth control. It’s especially for minority birth control.
I doubt that ... but even if true, it takes TWO to tango.
Let’s hear some proposals to curb boys .
NEVER EVER BEEN DONE.
