Good for you Ms.Thrope!  Thank you for your service.  For your information, I worked in the legal and medical field for over a dozen years.  You're clueless, but that is the way our society has been 'educated.'  You could google all the topics you want, and you'll find what you want, including the adverse side effects of free birth control for teens...in psychological and physical terms.  I am not against birth control, but we have to approach it from a different mentality, you'll find studies to back that up too, if you care to research something contrary to your own opinion.  At a minimum, GiGi deserves your respect, rather than your condescending tone. Once you've had experience in/with DFYS, or opened your home/heart to 73 children, I'll respect your opinion a lot more.
