Children as young as 10 years old are receiving taxpayer-funded birth control in Washington State, according to public records obtained by Judicial Watch from the agency that provides medical coverage for the poor.
JW filed a public records request with the Washington Health Care Authority after reading a disturbing article in a pro-life news site over the summer about a Seattle high school that offers different forms of birth control without parental knowledge or consent. This includes implanting an intrauterine device (IUD) in a girl’s uterus free of cost. It’s part of an initiative offered by Medicaid, the joint federal and state insurance program for the poor. The article points out the irony that a teen in Seattle can’t get a sugary soft drink in high school but can have a device implanted into her uterus.
The data obtained by JW reflect increasing numbers of kids in all age groups receiving these birth control implants from 2013 to 2014. Figures can’t be compared for 2015 because the full year’s data is not yet available, but the records show that in 2014 and at least part of 2015, girls as young as 10 received the implants. The largest group of minors that got the birth control implants was 17 years old, according to the data, but girls much younger also received them. Four 11-year-olds got birth control from the state during the 2 ½- year period and so did more than 100 girls between the ages of 12 and 13. The numbers go up as the girls get older with 364 girls age 14 getting the implants and 744 15-year-olds. The records show that 2,336 girls ages 16 to 17 were given implants during this period.

If it IS a crime...the parent(s) are the ones to be prosecuted.
Have we arrived in hell in that hand basket yet?
So ten year old kids can get free contraceptives and abortions, yet if an 18 year old walks into school with a tylenol fo their continuing headaches, it’s a 2-week suspension? Wow, this world is effed up all to hell.
Ok, now what are they going to do about the rampant spread of STD’s?
Just laying the groundwork for the coming sharia law.

Outrageous !
Amen.
Not even Sandra Fluke would dream this one up.
From what I hear in Texas, it’s been an uphill battle to get these children to stop having babies. Maybe this is the latest attempt to control that.
If the school provides it without parental knowledge or consent, why would the parents be culpable? Prosecute the school officials and doctors.
They must be getting ready to change the age of consent..
Girls ages 10-17 are getting these implants but NOBODY is concerned about the perpetrators?
They wouldn't need birth control if they weren't having sex.
One could make up a very good poem with her name...hmmm, way to obvious.
Oh we did WAY back when American voters FIRST voted in Obama. We have another year and a half of him.
Now, will American voters elect Hitlery as POTUS? THAT is the $64,000. question.
Boy, am I showing my age or what.
We’re going down.
Don’t even bother jumping into a lifeboat. Where would you go?
Don’t EVER let a filthy leftist try to tell you that they don’t approve of pedophilia. They are always enabling little children to have sex.

I would like to see the pie chart of the race (I said it) of these girls.
It’s the same here. In my opinion, this is just to delay the girls from getting pregnant until their bodies are more mature and able to crank out those child welfare credits.
I would never say this unless I had seen it firsthand. There was a time that I wouldn’t have believed it. The “fathers” are either disabled or periodically imprisoned for illegal drugs. I know of one family with a total of seventeen individuals who draw on some kind of government dole. They all have free healthcare, free everything for their kids, free food, reduced rent and huge tax refunds; even though not a one of them works. They go on vacation and buy cars at refund time.
If you ask me, these are the new “privileged class” of Americans, unlike all us poor smucks who work for a living.
