S.F. Considers ‘Shooting Gallery’ for Drug Dddicts

It figures San Francisco would consider such a horrible idea. What about paying for that person's drugs, while your at it, since we don't know where people get the money to pay for those elicit drugs. What does Nancy Pelosi think about this:
City health officials took steps Thursday toward opening the nation’s first legal safe-injection room, where addicts could shoot up heroin, cocaine and other drugs under the supervision of nurses.

Another place they belive in the if-you-can't-beat-join-them philosophy:
After an outbreak of pregnancies among middle school girls, education officials in this city have decided to allow a school health center to make birth control pills available to girls as young as 11.

King Middle School will become the first middle school in Maine to make a full range of contraception available, including birth control pills and patches. Condoms have been available at King's health center since 2000.

Students need parental permission to access the school's health center. But treatment is confidential under state law, which allows the students to decide whether to inform their parents about the services they receive.

There are no national figures on how many middle schools provide such services. Most middle schoolers range in age from 11 to 13.
