One motto taught to growing teens is always have a plan b. This statement is true for the high-schools around the nation that are beginning to give teenage girls access to the drug. This drug will be administered without the consent or knowledge of the parents or guardians. This is a double sided issue. What is more troubling? That our teens need the morning after pill or that our parents have teens what are pregnant and they have no knowledge of the outcome? This pill is the equivalent of taking the entire pack of birth-control pills at once. There is no long term empirical data about the effects of the pills. Our young girls need self discipline over their emotions and their horny bodies. Let's get our teens. Pay attention to what they are not saying. Let's teach our own teens about what is healthy for them to do! The school nurse doesn't live under our roof. Why should she have the final say on our youth?
