Dr. Manny: Judge is placing young women in danger with Plan B decision | Fox News: "a school nurse can’t even give an aspirin without parental consent, and yet a federal judge says it’s okay for a 13-year-old to get emergency contraception without anyone saying anything about it? "

"It was not that long ago that these types of hormonal contraceptive pills were given under medical prescription only – because these are real hormones with real side effects.  Yes, I understand that the complication rates are minimal, and I was okay with the FDA making this an over-the-counter product.  But I’m certainly not okay with allowing a young child to have access to these medicines.
First of all, how is a 13-year-old girl supposed to tell the difference between emergency contraception and birth control? In other words, Plan B is only to be used in case of an emergency, in which you may feel as if your regular form of birth control failed and there was a window of time when you may have gotten pregnant."

Skilled Immigration: The New Common Ground in the Reform Debate | Cato Institute: "Just over half of all H-1B workers work in the computer industry, where unemployment is under 4 percent."

Seventy-five percent of the firms surveyed had one or more skilled immigrants as a key member of its product development or management teams. Many of those firms would not exist if those vital immigrant employees were not legally allowed to work."

The US Corporate State - Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. - Mises Daily: "AIG was bailed out in order to protect Main Street, the public was told, but virtually none of AIG’s busted CDS insurance was held by Main Street banks. Even on Wall Street the effects were confined to about a dozen firms, every one of which had ample cushion for absorbing the losses. Thanks to the bailout, they did not take one dollar in such losses."

Keeping Low-income Students from Being Throwaway Kids | Cato Institute

Keeping Low-income Students from Being Throwaway Kids | Cato Institute: "“It’s not uncommon in urban schools for about 20 percent of the student body to change schools in a given year. A U.S. Government Accountability Office report revealed that ‘One-sixth of the nation’s third graders — more than half a million children — have attended at least three different schools since starting first grade.’

“In areas of highly concentrated poverty, that number is often far higher. As a result, students may bounce between schools that have entirely different curricula and teaching practices, putting them at risk of school difficulties and reducing the chance that they will stay in school.”"

"One study of high school students in three studies conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics indicated that 12 percent of high school dropouts nationwide left school to take care of a family member."
