I recently learned that my neighbor has her adult-aged mentally retarded daughter take birth control pills.  The daughter is severely retarded, cannot live alone, and certainly can never get married.  The mother told me that she has her daughter take the pills in case she is raped, or is tricked into having marital relations.

Do you think this is justified?

That sounds like something out of the mouth of Margaret Sanger. No, it is not justified.

I was an assistant on the school bus for the special needs. Yes, this is done to these young ladies. Justified?  No!  The doctors who dispense BC, uses the paranoia to get the guardian to say yes to it.  

Now, get the scenario, if she gets raped....  Those is the groups homes then know that they can do it, because they are with birth control!!  

Another reason for BC, is to make the menstrual less, which the BC do.  They make an artificial lining which makes abortion possible, not favorable to a fetus and thus an early abortion, and not seen.

Some of these special needs may even get a hysterectomy.  

Like guardiasil, it covers the effects of sɛҳuąƖ relations.  STD's are precursors of cancers. Nothing like trying to cover the evil deeds.

Also, Birth control be they pills or Depo shot, are a terrible mix with drugs already being taken.  Birth control ages the body, breaks down bone structure and makes them moody! or in this case moodier.

Just all round rotten!  If you do not want your special needs young lady raped, don't give the Birth Control and they WILL stay clear of them.

I do have one question, that is, is the guardian being forced, or maybe a better word, like "is she does not have the BC...... is anything being held over the guardians head.  The group home may complain that she is not easy to keep clean with a menstrual.  That is the other issue they bring up. But the guardian is THE one that is to keep close tabs on the daughter and that doesn't always fly.  The care givers are changed like underwear, sad to say.  And some group homes get low with help and take the special needs into another group home, bringing them all together to watch over, real sad.  I don't know if there is another way around it.  I will ask my sister sometime, for my niece is in a group home and I warned my sister and she keeps tabs, especially the food she eats.

I knew of a young lady that could not get benefits or assistance for whatever and BC was required.  So, she did not want the BC.  I suggested that she take the prescription and if need be prove that it was filled out and throw the BC away!  Now, there is Depo and that is a quick shot.  Can you imagine the side effects and you can't suck out the Depo.  I knew a lady who had a estrogene shot for her bones, said the doctor and she broke out and lost skin off her hands and wore gloves to drive a bus.

Poche is right.  

The guardian is responsible for her despicable act of giving birth control pills to a mentally retarded person.

Yes, they do have a lot of suffering.  Especially if they are in a group home.  Some parents keep their children for as long as they can.  Martial break ups and then parent works and child is in a special school.  After age 21 they are no longer bussed to schools and group homes and such are next.  Some parents need time to themselves, IF, someone would stay with their special needs child.  That is the best gift you can give.

I'm trying to make light of this, but maybe the mentally retarded are actually blessed.  If they receive the sacraments but do not have the capacity for sin.
