Too many young mothers ill-equipped to handle the challenges. Brenda Well, I’m certainly for it. Too many young mothers ill-equipped to handle the challenges.

I agree that parents should talk to their children and keep talking, but as Elaine stated, depending on the socioeconomic level of the family, this ideal scenario often isn't in the cards. Proper communication is the key.

Seriously? Isn't there a time limit, like 72 hours? Who'd be able to get a prescription in that small window of time. It's a good thing they're changing it.

As a parent I see Dave's point in wanting our children to come to us but in today's society how many teens do that? And I'm talking all socioeconomic levels here. The United States has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy among the most developed countries in the world. We rank 37th in the world for Health Care and we pay the most. We obviously aren't doing something right. First of all I welcome everyone’s reply, this is a heated subject just as is giving birth control pills to minors and we all won’t agree.

I don't agree with the quoted part by the Food and Drug Administration. The more we do things like this, the easier it is to push out kids off on some pharmacy to help them instead of getting to the root of the problem and talking to our kids. I talked to our kids, both of them. Many times. Sorry, I don't agree with allowing our children to go to the pharmacy when they should come to us. JMHO I’m not sure how you don’t understand what I don’t agree with.

That was kind of just a statment of fact. I think it's a great thing, I think anyone who can take it without damaging themself should be allowed to. Make the act illegal not the cure. @Dave What don’t you agree with?
