Say Goodbye to Personal Responsibility

The government decided to let 17-year-old girls get the morning after pill. That makes me sick. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against contraceptive methods. People need ways to control the population. It is reckless to have more kids than one can take care of. But to give teenaged girls a tool to end any possible pregnancy that might have occurred? How about we just throw personal responsibility out of the window?
Let's face it. Kids have sex. Whether you're a liberal or a conservative, a Christian, a Buddhist, or an atheist, that fact cannot be denied. Kids have sex before they're ready and put themselves in situations that are less than favorable. But giving them this option is like saying they don't have to be responsible for themselves. It tells them that they can just coast through life, making whatever kind of mistakes they want and not suffer the consequences for their actions. I think if a kid wants to have sex and they get pregnant, they have to deal with it. Don't have sex if you don't want to possibly have a kid. Condoms are one thing. They prevent a pregnancy from ever happening. The morning after pill is ended a pregnancy that's already taken place.
It makes me sick to think of the kind of power they are putting in the hands of young people who have no concept of what's best for them.
