New York City schools are offering young girls a full menu of birth control options, free of parental counsel, thanks to an unpublicized project by Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration.

School nurses handed out 12,721 doses of the Plan B One-Step “morning-after” pill in 2011-12, up from 10,720 in 2010-11 and 5,039 in 2009-10, the New York Post reports.

Mona Davids, president of the NYC Parents Union, was stunned by the report.

“I’m in shock,” she said. “What gives the mayor the right to decide, without adequate notice, to give our children drugs that will impact their bodies and their psyches? He has purposely kept the public and parents in the dark with his agenda.”

Pray for an end to abortion and a return to a culture of life in our nation.

In the leftist world view, the state is all powerful and all knowing. The family is no longer needed.

The left is doing everything it can to destroy the family. This is only one way it’s doing it.

Giving out birth control pills is better than the alternatives. It means less abortions, and less teen mothers with kids on welfare.

Noob here has a weird fixation about wanting school children to be given birth control by schools on OUR DIME without their parents’ knowldge or consent.

You are aware that the pill acts as an abortifaciant, as does the coil and some of the Norplants. But don't take my word do some research.

“I guess it’s better than handing out 12000 diapers...”

To chemically abort the “possibly” conceived is better than handing out 12,721 diapers??

The “morning-after pill” is designed for those who have no soul.

I think everyone has a soul...just not the same kinds.

Well, everyone does, it’s true. Perhaps I should have said a soul so debased, instead.
