Some New York High Schools Giving Students Morning After Pill

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- Some high schools in New York are now handing out the morning after pill to students.

Last year, the Health Department decided to make the Plan B pill available to kids.

The pilot program has now expanded to 13 schools.

It's called CATCH, or Connecting Adolescents To Comprehensive Health Care.

While some students say it's a bad idea, others say the pills prevents teenage pregnancies.

The pill will be available to students starting at age 14.
