| Women now have twice as many sexual partners as they did ten years ago. More young women, and even underage girls, are using contraception than ever before. Amoung girls under 16 (the age of sexual consent) there has been a tenfold increase in the use of contraceptives over the last two decades. Recent figures in the NHS contraceptive bulletin 2002-03 show that around 85,000 under-age girls are recruited into contraception each year. The sheer scale of the contraception mentality is illustrated by the fact that in 2002 about 52,000 girls aged 15 (17 per cent of 15 year olds) attended family planning clinics. And if that were not bad enough, in the same year nearly 27,000 prescriptions for the morning after pill (now available from supermarkets and local pharmacies without a doctors prescription) were issued to under 16s. | |
