PORTLAND, Maine (AP) ? 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.

Are they over stepping their bounds in care for the children, or should this have happened long ago???
I think making it available is a good idea, but also hand out free condoms. It takes two to tango.
