Springfield reproductive health policy narrowly passes
Springfield reproductive health policy narrowly passes: It's raised legal, ethical and religious questions and caused arguments but some say it could be the answer for a public school system where 28 percent of 7th graders have reported having sexual intercourse.
Condom Policy Approved!
I am happy this was passed!
Pull the reins all of those concerned! I don't think people should make assumptions. You are rediculous to say we are condoning sex for 12 year olds. I have a 12 year old in the public school and wanted this policy to pass. 1. I met a young person with HIV as young as 11 years old. 2. It is ensuring a young persons future and access to health care. 3. The Springfield Parent Academy offers Workshops on an evidence based curriculum in regards to talking with teens around sexual adolescent health.
We need to think about all of the consequences that comes with having sex. Children are raising babies!
We need to put an end to it. Abstinence is number one but, if they are going to have sex which they are having it,, why not give them protection.
In order to recieve a condom the young person needs to go speak with their nurse in confidence and will be educated and counseled first.
Yes, the education should come from parents first but, the reality is some parents are embarrased because the way they were brought up to even bring up the topic about sex.
