firstcoastnews.com— The school committee voted seven to two to allow a Middle School health center in Portland, Maine to give birth control pills to girls as young as 11 years old, but not without a spirited debate.

Because "just sex" doesn't take the life, liberty or property of another person (in most cases. in cases in which it does infringe upon another's rights, it is ILLEGAL.)
Your characterization only makes it seem worse. Imagine, if you will, a world in which daddies force their daughters to go to the school nurse for birth control, so that daddy can do what he wants without worrying about anyone ever finding out. *shudder*
What can be worse than little girls forced into having sex and religious zealots standing in their way calling them sluts while pointing fingers and holding their bible, all the while denying those little abused girls even a modicum of help so they are forced to give birth to brothers or worse to have life threatening abortions. Sorry the image disturbs you but little girls don't have sex for fun and all the indignation over allowing them to get medical help only helps those who would abuse them. The shame of the program is that that poor child must bring the permission note home to get signed by daddy or moms drunk boyfriend.
Daniel, without sex ed these kids don't know how to prevent getting pregnant or stds. If you make kids stupider, they'll still be having sex, they just won't be protected when they do.
to b e honest i remember my step brother showing me a porno in third grade and third grade was the first time i got with a girl , so i would say i was 8 or 9 years old! so put that into your database !
Hmm.. 'dark age religious crap'.. What does religion have to do with a state-run institution handing out birth control to minors? Doesn't seem to really matter much at all what religion has to do with schools seeing as religion is kept in a deep dark closet in most public schools around the country. The fact of the matter is that it is not the school's job to parent people's children. Parents should deal with the fact that kids will experiment with sex and teach them in a proper manner how to avoid pitfalls such as STIs/STDs as well as pregnancy. Schools shouldn't be playing babysitter for parents by handing out subsidized birthcontrol at tax payer's expense.
