HIGH COST

I THINK that birth-control pills should be distributed for a small price and without parents' consent in the schools. Many girls would like to go on the pill but they can't get access to it. They may not be able to afford the price of a medical examination plus the price of the pills, or they may not be able to get to a doctor and they feel they can't ask one of their parents to take them.
