Maine bishop "outraged" by school contraceptives decision October 22, 2007
Bishop Richard Malone of Portland, Maine, has strongly objected to a decision by the city’s school board that will make contraceptives available to middle-school students.
"I join the number of parents who have expressed their outrage and disbelief at the decision which affects young girls aged 11 to 14 years old," the bishop said. He was responding to a new policy that will allow distribution of birth-control devices to students, without the knowledge of their parents.
