Plan B = my kids new parent

Ok, time for a rant!!!!

I read a day or so ago that the morning after pill was ok'd for distribution over the counter for women 18 and older. Whatever, they're adults, they are old enough to make good adult decisions. **aaaahem**

Now, since this was ok'd, the next step is this:

"The maker of the morning after pill, along with women's groups and lawmakers, plans to press its success a step further, seeking to make the controversial abortion drug available without prescription to girls 17 and under."

There isn't much that can be done it seems when it comes to what is right and wrong as far as abortion. People have their beliefs, their views, their minds set. But when something is accomplished, it seems that people are always seeking more and more, pushing that issue more and more.

I didn't barely bat an eyelash at the idea of the FDA making this available, I thought that they had made a good compromise requiring those who seek it to walk up to the pharmacy counter, present valid proof of age, and do whatever they need to do. I am willing to be open minded but I don't necessarily have to agree with it. I mean really, the way things are changing one would have to be nuts not to be willing to accept some sort of change.

But now, I read this and it just angers me. Just knowing that there are those out there that advocate my kids living a consequence free life makes me want to hurl. But I guess I could look at it this way:

No, I do not want to be a grandmother, I do not want my kids to be mommy's and daddy's at the age of 15, 16 or 17. So what do I do...hmmmm, tell them they can just go to the local pharmacy to get this miracle drug and **poof** the 'problem' is solved! Forget about being an actual parent and teaching them, and being involved. That is just simply too damn much work.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!

Oh, we have a problem with teen pregnancy don't we. I swear I just read somewhere else that teen pregnancy rates have decreased? Maybe I was just dreaming.

Either way, I hope that there is enough sense in some people out there who make these laws to perhaps put the kibosh on this new little scheme coming from those who are just too damn lazy and careless to actually take parenting seriously.

I guess I can only hope right?
