I remember watching a news program some years ago that dealt with this same topic. One school that started giving out birth control said that they did not have any pregnant girls that year. The year before, there were several.
I have mixed feelings about the issue, but I do believe free contraception should be available to the students. The majority of them will have sex anyway. I'm sure its easier to concentrate on your studies when you're not pregnant and scared. And from a financial standpoint, I'm sure it's cheaper to pay for birth control, than it is to pay for medical and child care expenses.
