Old News, Toys R Us to sell birth control. (maternity, babies, pills)

New York, N.Y. -- Green lighted by last week's FDA approval, drug manufacturer Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceuticals unveiled on Monday the company's newest oral contraceptive: Ortho-Novum 1/12 - the world's first chewable birth control pill.

Designed to target the ever growing demographic of "at risk" preteen females, the edible Ortho-Novum 1/12 tablet boasts an easier ingestion process than its orally administered predecessors.

If you can't swallow a quarter inch pill, you probably shouldn't be.... oh, never mind.

An article for birth control with a picture of a 9 year old???? What are her parents THINKING?? OMG. Just the quote, "I take them with my Flinstones" should be a CLUE to these people. I guess OMG doens't even start to describe my disgust. Geez I thought it was bad when I put my 15 yr old on the pill to regulate her cycle. She is all upset because she thinks that I think she is sexually active. Personally, I think if we have to make birth control pills in the cute little shapes of bears and other ANIMALS we have a real problem. Dear Lord.

My philosophy is anything that will stop children from getting pregnant and having babies before they are emotionally and financially ready to raise them is a good thing.

If parents are going to take the bull by the horns and be parents, then I guess SOMEBODY has to take control of the situation. That is the sad and shocking thing to me.

You do all realize that the article is a joke, right? "Daddy's little angel's uterine wall," "Plus, we think the bears are cute," and the part about Britney Spears being the spokesperson... and Toys R Us and Kay Bee don't have pharmacies! LOL

This shows how easily people are led. You absolutely cannot believe everything you read! Check sources and check your information!! One of the other headlines is "Neurotic Adult Ghost going through Mid Life Crisis".

Come on guys, THINK!!

I remember when they used the line "I worked in pre-teen maternity" as a joke in the movie "Top Secret".
