Teenage pregnancy, especially in poor urban areas, has been a huge problem in the past. Many girls get pregnant and eventually drop out of school, contributing to the strain on many of our social safety net programs.School nurse offices stocked with the contraceptives can dispense “Plan B” emergency contraception and other oral or injectable birth control to girls without telling their parents — unless parents opt out after getting a school informational letter about the new program.
Teenage pregnancy has actually been on the decline for many years, thanks in part to a comprehensive school birth control program, including free condoms. www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db89.htm
How do you feel about schools giving girls injectable and oral hormonal birth control, including Plan B, without informing parents?
