In a move sure to stir controversy, King Middle School in Portland, Maine will begin offering a range of birth control to its students, ages 11 to 13. The school made the move to address an outbreak of pregnancies among middle school girls.
Portland's three middle schools reported 17 pregnancies during the last four years, not counting miscarriages or terminated pregnancies that weren't reported to the school nurse, according to this AP story.
