Girls Age 14 Can Get Birth Control At New York City Schools

New York City school and health officials are stepping on parental rights by going beyond condom giveaways and giving girls as young as age 14 “morning-after pills” and other chemical contraceptives at school without telling their parents, leaders of traditional values groups said Monday.

Their reactions were sparked by news that nurses in 13 public high schools are dispensing Plan B emergency contraception and other products to sexually active students who ask for it.

“We’re incensed at the arrogance of this administration. The state is constantly telling parents, ‘We know better than you on how to raise your children,’” said the Rev. Jason McGuire, executive director of the New Yorker's Family Research Foundation.

“Our kids are being targeted and they’re being sold sex. That’s what this is all about, and it needs to stop,” said Michelle Mulledy, New York state director for Concerned Women for America.

But at least they’re not smoking or drinking Big Gulps after sex..............................

I am officially ashamed to admit I was born and raised in what was once a great city.

I know. Just talking about the condoms because I think it's a first step toward the school district trying to get away with more things without parental permission. There were rumors going around that our school nurse was helping some girls get abortions without parents knowing. She held a meeting and was so condescending and know-it-all it was sickening. She claimed to have never helped anyone get an abortion and that we didn't understand girls “health care”. (Who gets their health care from school???) Anyway, she at least shut up and didn't return the following year, it part, because after she basically called all the parents stupid, a female in the audience stood up and told her she was plain wrong on a lot of the facts she was spewing. The nurse basically called this woman an idiot, until the woman revealed she was an OB/GYN in practice 15 years. The nurse left at the end of the year but the new one still passes out the condoms, but she seems more reasonable.

Do you know how bad it is when I have more in common with Muslims than I do with these leftist freaks?
