There was much trumpeting of a
drop in teenage pregnancies last week, hilariously attributed to sex education
programmes that frantically avoid mentioning abstinence or marriage, and assume
promiscuity is normal.
If this ‘education’ is so effective, it’s odd that sexually transmitted diseases continue to be rampant, and Britain’s teen pregnancy rate remains among the highest in Europe.
Here’s another explanation – the ‘morning after pill’ now available over the counter to anyone who looks 16, and which makes sure that a one-night stand doesn’t lead to pregnancy [except that it does].
This charming treatment, by the way, was originally developed by vets, to stop pedigree poodles conceiving after a street-corner dalliance with the local mongrel.
