Some stories just alarm the heck out of me. Like this one: 69% of UK High School Teachers Back ‘How to Get an Abortion’ Lessons.
Using logic the comes from the mind of a moron, or a sadist, teachers there are suggesting that in order to curb teen pregnancy, informing teens about how to get an abortion will help.
I suppose they see nothing wrong with the pregnancy itself, it’s really just the nasty human baby that’s created—that’s the problem. So deal with the effect, rather than the cause. Abort the pregnancy. Who cares?
In Canada we control the wolf population and other wildlife populations by hiring hunters in helicopters to kill whole bunches of them. Of course it’s hard to teach wild animals about abstinence. Humans have more brainpower. Or so goes the theory.
LONDON, February 4, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) — Over two-thirds of UK teachers support a push to inform schoolgirls on how to obtain an abortion.
A survey of 700 schoolteachers conducted for the Times Educational Supplement (TES) reveals 69% of teachers think that teaching children how to procure an abortion is in the child’s best interest. In addition, 98% of teachers thought educating children in contraception use was also essential.
TES editor Bob Doe told the BBC that, despite many teachers being uncomfortable with advising children to procure abortions without their parent’s knowledge or consent, “the law gives children the right to confidentiality in medical matters and that right is above a parent’s right to know.”
“It is the government’s intention that schools should become the places where all child welfare policies are delivered in future,” Doe added.
Statistics repeatedly reveal that more aggressive sex education leads to higher rather than lower teenage pregnancies. The UK is a prime example, having Europe’s highest teen pregnancy rate. Despite a heavily funded goal to halve the teenage pregnancy rate by 2010, teenage pregnancy rates there continue to skyrocket.
Official figures reveal that teenage pregnancies rose in Britain by an annual rate of 800 from 38,439 in 2001 to 39,286 in 2002, despite ?15 million spent in the same period to counter the situation.
