Students at a middle school in Portland, ME, with parental permission, can get birth control pills at the middle school’s health center.

The school has been providing condoms as part of its reproductive health program since it opened in 2000.

The students need parental permission, BUT, state law will allow them to seek confidential health care and decide whether or not their parents will be informed.

I don’t get it.

The lead nurse – “This is a service that is totally needed,” – for the 4% or five students of 134 who came to her health center during last school year and reported having sexual intercourse.

Let’s see…5 kids were stupid. Okay…let’s make the pill available for all of them….and all will be well.

Portland, ME city’s Division of Public Health made the birth-control proposal.

11-year olds on the pill.

I guess that makes sense to some people…but, Lord knows, I’m not one of them.

What do you think?
