Stacie:

This community does not need such a program as it is an affluent area and most individuals are educated enough to make good choices. The schools provide excellent health classes and programs. The community itself has a demographic of highly educated persons, both in the health and engineering fields. While there are some of the demographic that do not fit the mold of the community, they are few in number and can go to surrounding communities for their planning needs. The majority of the members of this community are conservative and a large number are Catholic. As such there are not many who favor birth control or abortion, indeed many teach abstinance.
