NYC mayoral candidate Christine Quinn mulls abortion pill for 11-year-olds
washington times ^ | By Cheryl K. Chumley

mayoral candidate Christine Quinn, who is speaker of the City Council, said one of her political platforms is perhaps opening the door for middle school girls to receive morning-after contraception, known in some circles as the abortion pill.

Yes, doing so “can make some people uncomfortable,” she said, as the New York Post reported. But, she added, “this is a really important option we need to make accessible.”

That means some girls as young as age 11 could have access to the pill. Ms. Quinn, who faces off against former Rep. Anthony Weiner in the Democratic mayoral primary — made the comments after receiving an endorsement from the Planned Parenthood of New York City Political Committee.

“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,” she said, as the Post reported.

Ms. Quinn previously stated support for making available the Plan B pills to high school girls in a pilot in-school distribution program started by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s administration in 2012. Expanding that program to middle school girls is the next step, she said.

Sooooo glad I moved out of that cesspool of a city. I do not miss it one bit. You could not pay me to move back there, and I grew up in that toilet. “Greatest city in the world” Yeah OK. Who came up with that saying? The same guy who came up with “Islam is a religion of peace”?

Not being a resident of NYC (thank God) - I recall the race being between the serial pervert Weiner and a Lesbian. I assume Quinn is the Lesbian?

Anyone who gave my daughter an abortion pill would not have to worry about the law once I found out.

No “parent” worthy of the title would tolerate this level of intrusion by the State, much less agree that CHILDREN of 11 are capable of such “choices”...

What’s sad is that the New Yawkers will probably elect the freakin’ dyke.

This is quite possibly the biggest whack job candidate I’ve ever seen.

Or maybe she’s just willing to say what they all believe out loud.

It’s a tight race, so she’s trying to get support from the NARAL crowd and from Blacks who are fairies. Anything goes in this race, with Thompson trying to out-Sharpton Sharpton and Blasio going after the Dinkins nostalgiacs.
