Plan B & Teen Depression

Yesterday, we blogged on Plan B's availability over the counter to 17 yr. olds. Today, in the newspaper we read, "an influential government appointed medical panel is urging doctors to routinely screen all American teens for depression - a bold step that acknowledges nearly 2 million teens are affected by depression."

Most of these teens are undiagnosed and untreated. These were the results from the government. The task force estimates 6% of US teenagers are clinically depressed. They noted that depression can lead to persistent sadness, social isolation, school problems and suicide. We would add, abortion STD's and sexual promiscuity.

As we said yesterday, Plan B, a very dangerous drug should not be available over the counter to under age girls. The government has just proved our point. The very same government who legislated that Plan B can be given to minors over the counter. It seems their schizophrenic. What do you think?
