How can anyone suggest 12year old ‘kids' get morning after pills so they don't have unwanted babies. ‘Kids' are promiscuous enough without giving them a ticket to ride so to speak.
12year olds should not be given morning after pills. They should be taught restraint, responsibility & that their actions have serious consequences. The answer is 'DON'T have unprotected sex in the first place. The males have to take responsibility for their actions also. There's also the risk of passing on STDs.
What happens if they don't get the morning after pill in time? Oh that's right a nice teacher will take them to an Abortion Clinic for a termination without parental knowledge or consent. This is outrageous and morally and ethically wrong on so many levels.
What's this teaching our ‘kids?' That they can screw around with no personal responsibility for their actions or future consequences, because someone else will clean up their mess for them.
These ‘kids' need to see the reality of a termination taking place, maybe then they'll think twice about having unprotected sex. Termination is disgusting & inhumane. A foetus doesn't deserve to be disposed of in this manner. Oh that's right, ‘kids' are too young to see something that gruesome but they can watch all manner of crap on TV and videos. Termination should be used sparingly only when the life of the mother is at risk or the foetus is seriously disfigured.
Dr's & teachers who aid these ‘kids' in any way should be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. What they are doing is wrong and surely must be illegal.
I can hear the PC brigade objecting vehemently. 'NZ doesn't want hundreds of young girls on the DPB”. No NZ doesn't. Education and protected sex (if ‘kids' have to indulge in sex at all) is the answer, not morning after pills and terminations.
