you can't go into a music store or supermarket without falling over displays of condoms,you can get the morning after pill without doctors presciption in any chemist store.
They get taught sex education from a very early age so it's not that they don't know how babies get there..
Strange days
I have a friend who's in dental school. Scored high in his DAT, high grades in his undergrad classes, so yeah, he thinks and claims that he's smart. He was living with his gf (now ex) who got pregnant. I later found out she aborted. I asked him why and he gave me several reasons. The bottom line, they didn't want the baby. The conversation dragged on a bit because I was really against abortion. Anyways, finally I wondered out loud, "Weren't you using protection?!?" He said no because they didn't think she'd get pregnant. Hmm.......

No, I didn't say you did that, I said the author (Talbot) did that.

The title of the article clearly states what I previously posted. To disconnect from that is, in my opinion, partisan and dishonest.
Did you read what I wrote?

What a horrible blow this is to the tabloid press. I hope they'll be able to pull through this disappointment.

Well really, the 15-year-old is going to be able to provide for the child better anyway, since his allowance is probably way bigger.

Well he's allowed to get a newspaper round, so all is well -as soon as he turns 16 he'll be able to get a Saturday job. The nipper'll be fine.
