MADISON, Wis. - Parents of a 14-year-old Wisconsin girl who died last year are suing the makers of a popular birth control patch for failing to warn people sooner about serious side effects.Regardless of the merits of the suit, why the hell was a 14 year old on birth control? Even in my most liberal of moments, I can't understand it. A 16 year old? Perhaps. 15 year? Borderline, if she has a wild streak. A 14 year old? Inexcusable. Most parents should still be able to keep their 14 year old child from having sex.
Eighth-grader Alycia Brown died of blood clots on May 7, 2004, after using Ortho Evra for about six weeks, according to the lawsuit filed this week in federal court in Madison.
