A travesty! Now women and men age 18 and older can get Plan B, the emergency contraceptive pill, withoutÂ a prescription. I am rather dissappointed that the FDA reversed it’s own ruling to allow this, even with the age restriction.

I have an idea…why don’t we promote abstinence rather than giving teens more tools to become more promiscuous? Oh, because libs and feminists would have a fit, that’s why. It’s OK to put condom machines in high school bathrooms, but not ok to teach boys and girls to wait to have sex and that there are consequences for their actions.

We aren’t teaching our kids to be responsible for their actions. We’re teaching them that it’s ok to have unprotected sex because you can get an abortion, or take this pill and make it all go away. What kind of example are we setting for our kids? Not a very good one, in my opinion.

I’m a lib (far left even) and I partially agree with you. Harborcreek High School’s Sex Ed is one of the few things I compliment the School District on. They didn’t hide condoms or birth control or Plan-B, but the first and last thing they said was abstinence.

In today’s reality, though, Plan-B is necessity. If I had it my way Plan-B would be in the school nurse’s office of every high school in the country. After all, it’s a parent’s job to head off the problem before it gets to the point of Plan-B, isn’t it.
