When the parents of 14 year-old Alycia Brown of La Crosse Wisconsin found out their daughter was sexually active, they did what the modern culture told them was the right thing to do; they put her on birth control, choosing the popular hormonal patch instead of the Pill.

This is the harvest from sowing the 'it takes a village' mentality.

Children that are closely supervised usually don't have the chance to become sexually active.

Wow! Living with blinders on, how do you manage?

This is also the harvest from sowing the managed health care system.

Did she get the script for the patch from a clinic? Planned parenthood? Or did she go to the family physician?

Family physicians are unheard of so I will assume it was a type of clinic.

So did this 'clinic' just hand over a script for this? Or did they do a work up?

Ortho Evra is documented to cause a higher rate of blood clots. Do the clinics screen black girls for genetic diseases like sickle-cell? Or is that politically incorrect?

Children that closely supervised know that they are loved at home and tend to not go looking for it elsewhere. My understanding of the issue is that it is the girl looking for the approval she never got from her father.

You can never watch them that closely. I can't count the daughters of strict, watchful parents that succumbed in my day. If you can't trust them out of your sight, it's too late, you lost them.
