MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Forty-one Manchester middle school students were taken to Planned Parenthood as part of a field trip.

On Wednesday, students in the STAY program, created for at-risk children, took a tour of nonprofit agencies.

STAY, in collaboration with the Greater Manchester YMCA, took the students on the trip.

Several protesters were outside the Planned Parenthood when the students arrived. They were yelling and trying to give the students anti-abortion literature.

"It is inappropriate for a school program to be bringing middle school children to Planned Parenthood," said Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta.

Guinta contacted the YMCA after receiving complaints.

The YMCA said it was the first time they took the students to Planned Parenthood and that abortion was never discussed. The organization said it will not take students there anymore.
