SEATTLE, Washington, August 18, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Intrauterine devices, long-term arm implants, and the Pill are being passed out for the asking to girls as young as 13 in Seattle schools, without parental consent.
In fact, the number of middle and high school girls in Seattle who got long-acting reversible contraceptives like IUDs doubled in the last year due to efforts of the school system.
Because Washington State law allows minors access to birth control without parental permission, children as young as 12 can get IUDs implanted without parents' knowledge.
The Seattle City Council received an update from the county health department on the student contraceptive program. At least 1,293 high school students received contraceptive counseling, with an untold number receiving arm implants, IUDs, and the Pill.
Additionally, 49 junior high kids received the same contraceptive counseling, and four of them received an arm-implanted long-acting contraceptive device.
The school-based birth control dispensaries, called "health centers," not only dispense contraceptives, but also treat various injuries and health issues of students. They are run by private organizations but are funded by tax dollars through a Families and Education Levy.
The use of IUDs raises concerns, as some women experience dangerous and life-threatening side effects from them, including perforation of the uterus, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ectopic (tubal) pregnancies. The IUD may also gravitate from the uterus to the uterine wall or abdomen, causing infection and requiring difficult surgery to remove.
This goes way beyond education, they clearly WANT these children to have sex.

well, as long as they can’t give them an aspirin without a doctor’s note, we should be OK with this

“This goes way beyond education, they clearly WANT these children to have sex. “
So does “BIG abortion”
They want to teach them early to be dependent on the government.
Right the next for the abortion mill.
Liberalism, socialism is a mental disorder.
You should have sex. Here, use this it will keep you safe. Oh no, that did not work or you messed up. Don’t worry we can fix it. Come on down to PP and we will advise you. Well, the best would be an abortion, after all it is safe and legal. Looks like quite a racket to me, especially when you throw in PP makin a bunch of money off the process.

Makes you wonder if PP sponsors this with their cash.
Of course they do....or WE do...PP is in a LOT of schools, officially!
Get YOUR children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!
Why is, Jarad Fogle going to jail?
So all these kids are now “safe” right? Nothing bad - meaning a baby - can happen now. But if one does, the same in school health program can simply refer the child for an abortion at Planned Parenthood. Oh yeah, I forgot. STDS. Arm implants, the Pill, and IUDs don't prevent STDs. Oops.
I blame the parents.

By who? The shop teacher?
The children are probably already having sex. I’d rather pay for this as a taxpayer than pay for the babies and abortions that would result otherwise.
Let’s put the blame where it belongs - parents who aren’t parenting.
Leftism is an insane asylum
Our culture is degenerate to the core
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
