"Pregnancy Pact" School OKs Contraceptives

Birth Control Allowed At Mass. School Where Girls Allegedly Agreed To Have Kids, Raise Them Together

(AP)  Schools in the Massachusetts city where girls reportedly made a "pregnancy pact" will allow contraceptives to be distributed - with parental consent.

Gloucester school board Chairman Greg Verga says the vote Wednesday night was unanimous. It allows contraceptives to be distributed at the high school's health clinic.

The board also could have voted to distribute the materials without parental consent or continue its policy of not giving them out at all.

Verga says the school board will vote on language of a parental consent form before the policy takes effect.

Time magazine reported that some of the 17 pregnant girls at the high school had agreed to have kids and raise them together. The mayor and some of the pregnant girls denied any pact existed.

R u Kiddddding me!!1 giving that out at school! That is just going to make the STD rate increase and make teens think its ok if school lets them have those things. I mean sure it will make the pregnancy rate go down, but still I belive that those things should not be given out at school.

Patsy....I''m not sure what you choose to NOT understand. Palin has said time and time again that she believes LOCAL schools and governments have the right to make those choices on their own.

What SHE would condone IS NOT what she would make mandatory for EVERYONE. That''s the beauty of FEDERALISM vs. SOCIALISM.

Your inability to think in any other terms but "one government and one policy for EVERYONE" reflects liberal brainwashing. Think beyond YOUR box.....
