Must be 17 -years-old to buy Plan B at the pharmacy
Tyler — Last year, NYC Health Department decided to make the Plan B pill available to students and the pilot program has now expanded to 13 schools.
While some students said it's a bad idea, others argue that providing the pills does not encourage teen pregnancy, but rather prevents it.

The Texas Republican policy of "Just Say No" is the greatest policy of all and that is why Texas has the highest teen pregnancy rate in America. Those good ole Texas Christian values are for sure being passed down to Texas children.
No one is forcing the students to take it, so I think it's a good idea to have it accessible and available.
I have taken the morning after pill myself. I would rather have my daughter take this than get pregnant at a young age. However, I don't think it is the school's place to hand this out....
