Should the ‘Morning After’ Pill Be Available to All Ages?
Well stated, I second these comments. America must face reality. Scientists do science. Policy makers make policy. Moral teachers teach morals. Financial experts consider who pays. And legislators make laws. Deal with it.
There are many post doctoral aspects of this drug, but the essence centers on personal behavior. Is it OK for a ten year old to have sex? If not, who is responsible to care and prevent her (or him) from this misconduct? Who pays for their mistakes (other than themselves)? What authority role should government play in young lives which have been abandoned by lousy parents? Can we sanction adults who fail their basic responsibilities? And some thing anathema to liberals: can morality be the basis of laws and regulations, or is “anything goes” our societal axiom (and thus the taxpayer must fund it)?
It is an inescapable fact that babies having babies is lethal to themselves and our society. Thus if this conduct becomes a sizable fraction of our national mores, the concept of being an American is degraded. Ergo we citizens can silence those who willfully obstruct common decency.
Deal with it.
