UK: Teaching children how to use condoms no help
This month, the British Medical Journal (sorry, subscription only) has published a report on a randomized controlled study on enhanced sex ed that failed to reduce the numbers of pregnancies or abortions in teen girls. Essentially, the “programme” involves education for boys and girls 13 to 15 years old, including teaching them to obtain and … Continue reading
Physicians to UK TimesOnLine: Abortion and Depression
The letter to the editors of the (UK, London) TimesOnLine one month ago from several physicians concerning the New Zealand report by New Zealand’s Fergusson on the increased risk between abortion and depression (that article is online in pdf, here – and that issue is their free sample issue, here) was hard to find.
