Bob Enyart of Colorado Right to Life tells OneNewsNow the situation is really out of control. “Children’s Hospital Colorado [through a clinic in Colorado Springs] is giving medical treatment to children as young as 12 years of age – and that includes an abortifacient pill called Plan B, the morning-after pill,” he details. He adds the treatment includes providing the girls IUDs if they walk into the BC4U clinic.
The clinic, which receives federal funds, also provides free birth-control for ages 12 to 24 but don’t bother to make contact with parents for the younger ones. Under Colorado law, minors have the option to tell their parents.
