Now they are giving underaged girls protection from sex without parents permission!!! Whats this an inviation to all men to do what they like with these children? Lets have more women as MPs and get this sorted out once and for all.

Yes they are mad but please understand it is not an invitation for ALL men to sh@g them. Not ALL men want to.
It is very wrong though. Australia have the answer. If you don't name the baby's father on the birth certificate you cant get any benefits. So if they name them they can be prosecuted for consensual rape, because that what it is. Some will say this is not fair but I bet it makes young boys or men think a bit more before doing the deed with under age girls.

They already allowed under 16s to get contraception from 1986 from GP surgeries as long as they displayed Gillick competence (i.e. they knew what they were doing), and the doctors encouraged them to ask their parents beforehand. It's not compulsory and in some extreme cases it would not be advisable (e.g. if the parents were morally or religiously opposed to birth control).
I was never taught about contraception at school as I was a catholic at the time, but later caught up thanks to books and TV programmes. If I was an MP I would support more sex education that taught ALL young people about contraception and termination - and that sex is not a dirty thing. It's something that is natural but not to be taken for granted. And like the rest of life, it has responsiblilties attached to it.

I am a mother of 2 girls, not yet teenagers, but I'm not sure about this one. I would hope that I have a good enough relationship with my girls that when that time comes, they come to me. Let's face it though, kids are going to do it. I would much rather them be protected from pregnancy and disease. Some girls don't have a good relationship with their parents. How many children are born into this world to underage mothers and we, as taxpayers, have to take care of them.
As far as all men doing what they like with children, that is ludicrous. Not all men are pedophiles. Of course there are some perverts, but to lump all men is not a fair statement.

i did actually think the pill etc was already available to underage girls, but evidently i was wrong. i do not want my daughter having underage sex, but i would definately want her to be able to get hold of contraceptives if it did happen.
i had a good enough relationship with my mother that i could talk to her about these things, and i hope my daughter feels the same way, but there are many families that dont have that trust, and if the government is going to stop so many teen pregnancies it has to make contraceptives available, as well as improving sex education in schools

theres 2 ways to look at it really.
1. it may help to reduce teenage pregnancies
2. it may make them just not bother using condoms more than now so we could have an influx in STI and possibly more pregnancies if its not taken correctly.
im worried about the possible side effects from getting it without consulting a GP, my friends mum has a blood disorder which they found my friend may have and if she takes the pill she could end up with pulmonary embolisms, if she hadnt spoken to the GP she wouldnt have been told and could have ended up in hospital!
i think its better no matter what the age to speak to your gp, at least for the initial perscription and then get 6 monthly check ups!

Well, I personally think some teens want/have so much privacy and tell their parents so little that their parents don't have a clue about it and the kid wants to keep it a secret, so I think that the government giving out protection to teens is great, if not every teen you see walking down the street might be "With Child"

well, these kids are going to have sex anyways without their parents permission. i would want therm to be protected.
not all kids have an open rltp with their parents.
there was a girl killed by her father because she refused to wear a scarf that was part of her religion. imagine how her home life was like. do u think she had an open rltp with her folks. if she wanted to have sex do u think her parents would say "ok, heres the pill and condom"

I agree. I would put up one heck of a fight if someone gave my daughter (who is 12 next month) birth control without my knowledge or permission. WHEN the time comes that she becomes sexually active, I MYSELF will be at the Dr. with her to get birth control.
With the risks associated with birth control pills and the hormone's in them, etc, it is beyond wrong that they are giving these to little girls.

They've been doo lally for a long time. Though if a child is sexually active wouldn't it be better for her to be protected . If she had to ask her parents first she aint going to ask at all. She's then at risk of STD's and pregnancy. Do you think that would be better
