How governments and the usual suspects have tried to cut teenage pregnancies! How they have signally failed! This was a major target for Blair and co, but still they increase."More sex education!" They all shriek. Really?
Have they checked first to find out precisely how many girls did NOT know that sex causes pregnancy?
- Well then, just how much more information do you do you actually need?
Sex education is part of the answer - but schools must stop teaching it thus: " We know you WILL all have sex so we are going to teach you how to reduce the consequences."
Note the weaknesses which are fundamental. You can tell youngsters a massive amount about sex - I DO - I teach the subject - but a moral framework and preferably a Christian one is the starting point. It may not be perfect but is streets ahead of the value-free, comprehensive baby-producing factories.
Of course, an irresponsible media needs to be checked and "pregnancy as a career choice" must both be addressed before there can be any significant improvement.
Furthermore, why is it that the vast majority of comprehensives refuse to teach their pupils precisely what an abortion is? Why do they refuse to show the excellent films such as 'The Silent Scream' whilst rushing to give information about how to get an abortion?
