![]() Related articles:
.- A new study has revealed that 22 percent of Brazilian teens aged 13 to 16 have already had sexual relations and frequently use the morning after pill to avoid pregnancy. According to local media reports, some 6,300 students from 272 schools were interviewed for the study. The percentage of pregnancies was high among those polled. Out of those who had already had sexual relations 42.3 percent had already gotten a girl pregnant in the case of the boys or had become pregnant in the case of the girls. Psychiatrist Thiago Fidalgo of the Federal University of Sao Paulo said the study confirms the data from previous studies about the early sexual behavior of teens. He said the study is a wake-up call to parents to spend more time discussing sexual matters with their children. Subscriber comments:

I am totally against the morning after pill. Fr. Tad Pacholczyk a syndicated columnist, who serves as the director of education at the National CAtholic Bioethics Center on Philadelphia thinks different. He thinks there is a test to see if a woman is ovulating to give an abortifacient. These ages 13-16 need prescriptions also. But those over 17 do not. A 17 year old could get it for sister of friend no questions asked. The scrips down play the dangers of the drug. Fr. Pacholczyk states the drug can be used as a contraceptive, well, I am sure that is against God's law, being a Roman Catholic myself, I would say, this Priest is out of line and needs to state the Truth, or shut up! He also stated that the birth control pills can address gynecological problems like irregular cycles or bleeding. He has not studied the anatomy and how the pill works. It turns everything off in the brain. That is how irregularity is handled. No regularity there. And as for bleeding that is a broad subject not explained and again, the brain is turned off.
