Isn't it nice when the Federal Government decides they know how to raise your children better than yourself. It relieves parents of the God ordained duties of "raising a child in the way he should go," of teaching them to love and honor their parents, of showing them how to respect and obey authority, and to uphold their families values. Government has encroached over and over into the realm of parental authority and then wonders why more and more children grow up to disrespect authority. The federal government has approved and upheld most of these encroachments in the the realm reserved for parents. So it should come as no suprise that New York City Schools are not only passing out contraceptives without parental consent, but are now handing out the morning after pill to those 14 years old and above. Many families would hold that pre-marital sex is wrong, an adult responsibility, and if engaged in the behaviour then the consequences should be accepted. Many families believe that the morning after pill is just another method of abortion and that abortion is wrong. Why should the Government be allowed to interfere in the rights of parents to raise their children in their own values. Oh yea that would mean allowing American citizens freedom and liberty
