Well i just read a story for Gloucester, Mass, where there is a outbreak of teenage pregnancy at the local high school. Its not the normal rate of teenage pregnancy at the school, its actually around 4 times the normal amount. There are 17 teen girls that are pregnant.
You might be asking, What does this have to do with the government? Why am i wasting your time reading about pregnancy?
Well this is why, there are a couple of very disturbing things in this report.
First, the school has started an investigation to see if the 17 teen's made a pact between them to all get pregnant. Since when is it the schools role to investigate their students lives. These students are not the property of the state, i know this angers the state, but it is the truth. What makes the school district think it is any of their business what students do. Well here it is, ITS NOT.
Second, the nurse practitioner and a doctor at the local medical office is pushing the government in the city to be able to give contraceptive and medicine to teens with the teens parents knowledge or authorization. Where does this doctor and nurse get off thinking they are smarter than the actual parents.
Well both of these things disturb me very much. It just shows 1) that government officials think that they are have the right to involve themselves into the lives of the people in their community, 2) This mentality of the medical professionals in this country thinking that they are more important than parents.
This mentality ( the government and the medical personnel) needs to be in its place by us. NOW.
Viva Liberty!
