Early Abortion Just One Click Away

A school pilot program in Oxfordshire has announced plans to allow girls as young as 11 to request the morning-after pill via text message in an ill-conceived plan to control the teen pregnancy epidemic.
Also, the Lloyds Pharmacy chain recently announced plans to offer morning-after pills online. Logging on to the site, you can order up to three pills to be delivered to your door within 72 hours.
A spokesman for Lloyds said the idea for the service came from customers requesting a supply of the pill in advance.
While the intentions of health and government agencies are obviously to promote sexual responsibility, women (and girls) who have such easy access to emergency contraception are becoming more and more irresponsible.
These programs cannot be allowed to masquerade as women’s empowerment or freedom of choice, especially not with female reproductive health and the lives of unborn children hanging in the balance.
