If she needs contraception she is technically a woman.
Bullshit. Not even close.
Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed, eh? So you don't mind 50 year old men humping 13 year olds?
The ability to produce sperm or ovulate is not what makes someone an adult. The brain of a child has not developed the judgement centers to maturity. This is scientific fact. A child is literally incapable of the judgmental abilities of an adult. That is why a parent needs to be involved in their decisions.
A fifty year old can run circles around a kid mentally.
We don't let kids get tattoos without parental consent, but we are going to let them get contraceptive medication without it?
Or maybe a girl of 14 will have sex with a 14 year old boy. Or 17 year old young man. Statutory rape is beside the point.
The fertilized egg isn't even a fetus yet while the morning after pill is effective. Now the girl can avoid an abortion. Don't we all want abortions to be rare? Teenagers WILL have sex whether they have access to emergency contraceptives or not. At least this way there may be fewer abortions.
Quit being deluded puritans.
So encouraging our young people to marshall their logic and/or ethics in order to master carnal instinct is pointless, huh?
Kids are gonna screw kids, men are gonna screw men, men are gonna screw boys .....
No sense trying to draw a line? Really?
If believing we shouldn't just surrender in the effort to control our carnal instincts makes me a "deluded puritan" then I'll wear the badge with honor.
