  • Boomers Smoking

    I agree with the Dr.'s post previous to mine. I believe that each of us has a right to do what we think is best for us. I believe marijuana has many medicinal uses and that this slight risk is less than most presciption medications on the market. Look at the side effects of some of these meds and tell me would you rather take them or smoke ...

    Here’s a question: If a 12-year-old gets a prescription for the pill so she can have sex with her 17-year-old boyfriend, is the school contributing to statutory rape? No one uses birth control to have sex. It's used to do what the name implies: control birth. Kids are going to have sex whether you like it or not, pill or no pill. Given that, ...

  • Re: Birth Control in Schools

    To begin, I think that the point made by Jannipur about how educating girls to say no to sex is a sexist behavior is well made. I also find that Antistokes' argument about other legitimate uses of the pill is too often forgotten in these sorts of debates. That your daughter goes on the pill doesn't mean that she's having sex. That said, I think ...
