Fox News’ Tantaros: Is Obama’s 15-year-old daughter going on birth control?

[proud2BlibKansan]

Fox News host Andrea Tantaros expressed concern on Friday over President Barack Obama’s support for over-the-counter access to birth control for girls aged 15 and up.

“I’m just wondering, at 15 years old, is the Obama daughter, Malia, going to go on birth control?” she asked on her radio show. “Are they gonna put her on birth control? Because he’s very concerned with the contraceptives and pharmaceuticals that are going in the mouths of everybody else’s 15-year old daughter.”

On Thursday, Obama said he was “comfortable” with the Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) decision to make “Plan B” contraceptives available to younger women without a prescription, explaining that it was based on scientific evidence.

“Yeah, the same scientific evidence they point to on climate change. Uh huh, that’s very reliable.” Tantaros scoffed. “I got news for you, Mr. President, and you should know this by now, ’cause your oldest daughter’s about to turn 15 in July. You should know this. I don’t even have a 15-year-old but I’m gonna clue you in: Psst. Girls aren’t women at 15. They’re little girls. They’re not women. They’re not adults, as defined by the law of the land. Mr. President, you should know that. And as a dad, you should respect that.”

1. Even if she is...so what?

It's nobody's fucking business except's including Barack and Michelle

[Demit]

2. They just don't have any boundaries at all. They are profoundly warped.

3. What ever happened to leaving the kids alone?

They have no shame. The Obamas have pretty much succeeded in protecting the girls' privacy and encouraging them to have a "normal" childhood (as much as that is possible). Malia must be mortified to having this blockhead twit talk about her in such a personal manner. I bet they are doing "damage control" this week to protect her.

4. She said he brings his kids up

So therefore, according to this nutjob, the kids are fair game.

5. Fuck off, Faux.

It's none of your fucking business what ANY 15-year old chooses to do. According to medical ethics, they are old enough to make decisions about their own bodies.

God, those assholes get dumber every day.

6. fuck faux. they are absolutely shameless.

7. 15 year olds are not "little girls", they are in transition from

being girls and growing into being women. 15 year olds do not play with dolls like my 7 and 8 year old daughters do. Teens are capable of making more responsible decisions and should not be treated like little kids. What an idiot. Also, Conservatives freaked out about anyone talking about the Palin daughters. Hypocrites.

8. I don't know, Andrea...but what business is it of yours?

Look to your own life, and leave the lives of others alone. It seems highly unlikely that Malia is going to have a lot of opportunities to explore her own sexuality for the next three years, so she probably doesn't need regular contraception in pill form. If that were not the case, as it is for so many young girls and young women in this country, then contraception would probably be a topic of discussion for both her and her family, along with their physician.

You, Andrea, are none of those things. Not her, not her family, and not Malia's physician. So, Ms. Tantaros, I ask again, "How is this any of your fucking business, and why are you using the daughter of the President to promote your foolishness?" I'll wait for your answer.

9. how is it

Andrea Tantaros' business?

10. Wow. So what do you think about attacking the girl's school? nt
