Gloucester High School agrees to distribute contraception
Gloucester High School, site of the 17 High School girls who got pregnant this past summer, voted to make contraceptives available (with parental consent) at the high school health center last night.

Good move, Gloucester. Now while it's unclear that these young women would have been impacted by this change in policy (remember, it's alleged that at least half of them wanted to get pregnant) this will be a great service to the rest of the teens at this high school.

1. This seems backwards to me. If the parents agree, they do not need help from the school.
If the parents do not agree or if the kids are afraid to ask their parents, then what?
