Maine Middle School to Issue Birth Control Pills

The story

School officials in Portland, Maine, voted to make birth control pills available to students at one of the city's middle schools.

WOW. I think I must be getting really old, but this is quite shocking. There was one girl at my middle school that got pregnant and had an abortion, so this is good. I must just be an old farty prude. or prudey fart. Whichever you choose.

    agreed, that's fantastic. portland is a really progressive city though. missouri is shutting down 2 of it's 3 abortion clinics.
