Prescribe 'the pill' at middle school?

As an 11 year old Middle School student, you still can't get Tylenol in school without a parent's note, but at one Maine Middle School health care center young girls may soon be given "contraceptive pills, patches or injections, as well as the morning-after pill" as forms of birth control, without their parent's notification or approval. According to an article in the Portland Press Herald, "although students must have written parental permission to be treated at Portland's school-based health centers, state law allows them to seek confidential health care and to decide whether to inform their parents about the services they receive." Beyond the fact that none of the aforementioned contraceptive methods have been proved safe for children that young, this should raise serious concerns about our health care system overlooking the rights of parents.
