What's got me scratching my head over the 10-11 year thing is you can't get pregnant until you get your period. Granted there may be some girls that get it that early, but that ain't the norm. If they haven't reached puberty that would that start the hormones that would make them think about sex, so if they having it, they're being abused, but they're not getting pregnant, not in droves anyway!

Also, if they've already gotten pregnant, it doesn't work, it doesn't abort the pregnancy it's just a super duper version of a birth control pill, not an abortion pill which gets me scratching my head over why anti abortion groups are crying about them, it's not an abortion, it prevents a pregnancy not ends one.

Exactly, even a 11 or 12 year old. My job requires me to report even if I suspect it. Currently, we have to sell it according to the package lable and it still states for 18 year old or above. We still have to see an ID. That is because we have to follow the package and label laws. Cant sell to anyone under 18 with out an Rx. Until we get the new package label (boxes of Plan B) We still follow what the box label say.
 
at least the kid got half a brain cell working better she got brain not to get pregnant..if my daughter had taken herself to get MAP then i think my parenting skills not all that bad at least she would have known what it was for....i think if it was mandatory for boys parents to pay for upkeep of baby until the boy was earning this may push parents of boys give them sex education

I agree that there needs to be more emphasis on the boys and men acting responsibly. That side of the issue doesn't seem to get as much attention.

There is a lot of conservatives are always opposed to BCs because of it's part of Satan's work or man-made things (depends on their religious beliefs)...

My opposition to this has to do with parenting. I'm not conservative, opposed to abortion, I don't believe in Satan nor am I against birth control or man made things. I'm not even opposed to giving this drug to teens. I'm against removing the involvement of the parents.
 
Kids will have sex, kids will drive drunk and get in fights and steal stuff. That's why they are kids and can't vote or join the military or get married. That's why they have parents, to do their best to keep them safe when they make mistakes and guide them into adulthood. Some will find them selves facing adult issues and that's why parents need to be there to make the proper decisions. If they are all capable of making these decisions on their own then why don't we lower the age of adulthood to 13 and let them all out on their own.
 
If you follow the evolution theory that the homo lineage developed from animals.

In the animal world the males will procreate with the females regardless of the conditions of impregnation. They don't follow a set age limit or anything like that, it's just whenever they feel mature enough. I wonder if this is the same thing happening to the young kids, or if something is triggering their hormone growths so it happens at earlier ages. Could it be the foods? Games/movies/tv?

No idea, but doing it at a young age really seems to mimic the animal lifestyle. The only thing setting humans apart from animals (physically) are our intelligence, laws and medications.
 
Parenting, could be something to look at to prevent early age sex.
But then on the other hand, parenting probably doesn't determine the onset of when the production of testosterone or progesterone starts.
 
fair play to any 13yr old with concept of understanding and using it... children having babies...in uk if CHILD went to dr for the pill they would get it and parents would not be told if that was express wish of the child
