Birth Control

[Akalyte]

Did any of you hear about the Birth control pills geared towards 11 year olds? Man this is sickening. The Architects of the culture of death are having their ideas and plans fullfilled by the second.

are they like chewy gummy bears?

[Archaeology cat]

Goodness! Can't say I heard about that one.

what?

[homeschoolmom]

I ask because so many kid meds come in candy-looking forms... vitaball (gumball vitamins), gummy vitamins, sucker sore throat meds, sour powder cold meds etc. I am not especially fond of meds in candy forms in general (don't want kids to think it's okay to take multiple doses). Not that I'm against the medicine tasting good or being easy to dispense-- big fan of that!

However, ABC pills for kids is SICK.

if they start making chewable kinds of BC, cause the kids are too immature to use swallowable, then we should really be worried.

I sure wish schools would get out of the "free clinic" business and get back in the "three R's" business...
