The New York Post<\/a> posted an article on Saturday (updated today) about a program in the New York City<\/a> schools that provides high school girls with birth control<\/a> pills–including Plan B<\/a> (the morning-after pill).<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Last September, the city revealed it had started giving out Plan B and other birth control in the nurses\u2019 offices of 13 high schools<\/a>. At the time, officials said 567 girls had gotten Plan B.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the birth-control blitz was much bigger than the city had acknowledged. About 40 separate \u201cschool-based health centers\u201d doled out 12,721 doses of Plan B in 2011-12, up from 10,720 in 2010-11 and 5,039 in 2009-10, according to the newly released data.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0About 22,400 students sought reproductive care from January 2009 through last school year, records show. Under state law, minors don\u2019t need parental OKs to get contraceptives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

The city says about 6,300 NYC girls under age 17 had unplanned pregnancies last year, and more than half had abortions. Of those who give birth, the city says, about 70 percent drop out of school, making their futures bleak.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just for the record, the age of consent for sex<\/a> in New York<\/a> is seventeen. That means that the schools are giving out birth control to children who are not legally supposed to be having sex. So let me get this straight. There won’t be salt on my table at a restaurant in New York City because Mayor Bloomberg<\/a> says it is bad for me. No restaurant can use transfat<\/a> to fry food in New York City, and ‘big gulp’ sodas are illegal in New York City because Mayor Bloomberg says they are bad for me, but my daughter can obtain birth control or the morning after pill without my consent our without consulting me about any medical conditions that she may have.<\/p>\n

The world has truly turned upside down.<\/p>\n
