Colorado offered free birth control — and teen births fell by 40 percent

[tmonster]

The ends justify the means I guess.

the means are not what you say they are

I think this is a great thing, I just wish parents could be in the loop as clearly stated before... and yes I know this success can't be achieved with them in the loop.
Whats so aggravating about that?
I really dont get how none of you get the "would like parents involved position"

 

[tmonster]

How so?

sorry you will have to continue your circle jerk of one by yourself

the parents have full access to their kids (who live with them) and can give them condoms whenever they want in on the "condom offering loop"

the means are not what you say they are

Providing birth control to minors at no cost without the need for parental consent isnt the means?
I have missed it then... Either way it isnt the birth control itself, or the results I have an issue with.
I just wish we didnt sidestep parents in the process... sorry thats so offensive.

exactly what I expected.

The tolerance for different value systems is high on the left.

Youre up in every thread criticizing everyone else too. Dont pretend you arent a part of it.

Criticizing individuals?
You're mistaken.

Free birthcontrol, legalized weed, CO stay winning damn.

I have a problem when people generalize another group of people for their own purpose. You make that sarcastic "tolerance is high on the left" post weekly on this board. Lets just cut it out and stop with the left vs right stanning. Both sides arent openminded.

Many parents advocate the wrong choices when it comes to teen sex. And lol @ taking the burden away from the state. What costs more. Birth control pills, or a kid born to a teen with a high chance of ending up on public assistance or tangled up in the PIC? "Keeping parents in the loop" is not worth the millions of dollars kids born to less than ideal conditions cost society. And parents shoulder a lot of the burden of teen babies as well... again I think most parents would rather be "out of the loop" than end up with another mouth to feed.

Agreed. My oldest will likely wanna start fukking within the next five years whether I like it or not. I'd like her to have access to birth control if she chooses to be sexually active.
Because guess who would be financially responsible for the child if she happens to get pregnant? ME!

fukk that! I didn't get a vasectomy so I could raise more kids.

The same people who bytch, cry and moan like spoiled five year olds when it comes to public assistance, are the the same a$$holes who complain about BC.

Unbelieveable.
