TRUBRITT,

You stated, regarding giving birth control to middle school kids, "My son...thought this was an appalling idea ...I view it very much as the parent who is a doctor and whose kids attend there who said -- I see kids in this age group everyday who are pregnant-- do we want this? NO! Do we want to prevent it.....sure do"

Did you know a lot of pregnant preteens when you were a preteen, when children's access to birth control and even information about birth control was much more limited? If not, maybe your son has a valid point.
