NYC mayor candidate: Middle schools should give 11-year-olds morning after pill

NEW YORK CITY, August 21, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Christine Quinn, a Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, [I’m looking at that name and indulging in some profiling…. “catholic”? ] has said she would be open to having middle schools distribute the morning after pill to girls as young as 11 without parental notification.

 Just when I think I’ve heard it all, I come across something that makes me pause in disgust. This week, I read an article from the Huffington Post titled, “How Do You Feel about Sex and Teenage Sleepovers?”There’s no doubt how I feel, but let’s first take a look at what the author said.
