This high school better start making birth control a mandatory subject


“A state public health official is urging Gloucester officials to take swift and decisive action, including allowing prescription birth control, to curb a spike in teen pregnancy among students at Gloucester High School, where a record 17 girls are pregnant.”

What is going on with everyone getting pregnant. Every time I look at Myspace someone I went to High School with seems to be pregnant or have a kid already. Keep in mind I'm 20. Republicans of course would rather schools teach abstinence but in our day in age that isn't enough. Yes teach that, but also teach safe sex practices and give students the tools such as condoms and birth control to prevent this from happening.
