Study: Ohio ranks 48th in terms of access to contraceptives

Published: Tue, September 22, 2009 @ 3:15 p.m.

COLUMBUS — About half of the births in Ohio are the result of unintended pregnancies, further proof of the state’s lagging policies on family planning, according to a study released today.

The Coalition for Family Health also said Ohio ranks 48th among states and the District of Columbia in terms of access to contraceptives.

“Ohio is among the worst states in the nation in terms of access to family planning,” said Judi Wolf, the Ohio public affairs chairwoman for the National Council of Jewish Women. “We spend less — significantly less — on making resources available than so many other states.”

The coalition has about 30 member organizations from across the state, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Association of University Women, the Public Children’s Services Association of Ohio and Planned Parenthood.

Nacho, lol. The lefto pubic school system and the lefto NEA isn't reaching the young people; even when they instruct them how to put condoms on bananas, teaching them Columbus was a bad man, the white man is the cause of all the world's misery and problems and it's normal for Heather to have two mommies; and Daddy's roomate.

HEY HEY HO HO, WESTERN CIVILIZATION HAS GOT TO GO! It's much better for humanity, the animals and the enviroment to live in a hut constructed of mud, straw and cow dung, no indoor plumbing, electricity paved roads and a sanitary sewer system, supermarkets, sidewalks, automobiles, radios, hospitals, doctors,tv's, telephones, computers and the internet. What a pristine lifestyle, how lucky are they.

Where else in any urban location is real estate valued as low as $50.00? The land should be given to groups of hard working Americans who will build homes, pay real estate taxes for schoos, etc. That's how America was built, by hard working, self-supporting Europeans who started with nothing but their ambition. That is how we can re-vitalize decaying neighborhoods, cities, states and America so she can again be the greatest nation of all times.

This doesn't really happen in most Ohio schools. Check out the health curriculum, (or the lack of one) from the state. Keep painting in those broad strokes without any real knowledge of what's actually happening.

The Youngstown Public Schools have lots of young girls who are pregnant. Some as young as 11. Don't you think their crack head mothers and absent fathers, who ever they are, should share a lot of the blame. Planned Parenthood, lot, that organization increases pregnancies b/c young girls aren't taught how to us contaceptives such as the pill properly. Planned Parenthood is probably allied with the abortion mills, b/c the purpose of abortion mills is selling abortions. That's the one business you socialists love and want to keep almost totally unregulated. Didn't Tiller The Killer perform 60K abortions? The best contraceptive is aspirin; place it between your knees and don't let it fall.
