"A leading group of pediatricians says teenagers need access to birth control and emergency contraception, not the abstinence-only approach to sex education favored by religious groups and President [George W.] Bush. The recommendations are part of the American Academy of Pediatrics' updated teen pregnancy policy." (LINCOLN COURIER) This article reveals how "the new policy says that while doctors should encourage adolescents to postpone sexual activity, they should also help ensure that all teens--not just those who are sexually active--have access to birth control, including emergency contraception."
