Morning after pill, contraception available at 13 NYC schools
Published September 24, 2012

So far, during an unpublicized pilot program in five city schools last year, 567 students received Plan B tablets and 580 students received Reclipsen birth-control pills, the city Department of Health told The Post.

This fall, students can also get Depo-Provera, a birth-control drug injected once every three months, officials said.

Parents at the 14 schools were sent letters informing them about CATCH. Parents may bar their kids from getting pregnancy tests or contraceptives if they sign and return an opt-out statement.

If they do not, schools can confidentially give the contraception without permission.

So if they DON'T return the 'Opt-Out' form, then it's okay? Shouldn't every single kid have to return a parentally-signed form that says "YES" or "NO" - ? Otherwsie, the ones who want contraceptives will simply not mention it to their parents. Of course, it'd be quite a job to ensure every single kid returned a form, and yes, I'm sure there are some number of kids without either parent directly in the picture on a daily basis, but still . . .

Interesting how this is an "unpublicized pilot program". :ohbrother

This whole mess should be criminal.

Imho it's child abuse.

Between stuff like this, gay "pride" & gay marriage and our rush to remove God and Jesus from America - it's a miracle and testament to God's patience that we've not already brought down God's judgment on the nation.
