The Pill Fails
Morning-after pill not leading to fewer teen abortions in Spain
Related articles:
.- According to official statistics from health officials in the Spanish region of Asturias, one in ten teenage girls has had an abortion during the last year. The figures represent the highest number of abortions during the last 18 years and confirm that the distribution of the morning-after pill has not resolved the problem. Asturias has become the Spanish region with the seventh highest number of teen abortions. According to the Spanish daily “La Nueva España,” of the 57,000 women in Asturias between the ages of 15 and 24, 744 underwent abortions in 2005.
Amelia Gonzalez, general director of Public Health in Asturias, the data shows that “something is failing in the formation of our teens in the sexual-emotional area.” Subscriber comments:

I´m not surprised by this news. In Spain nowadays there is a climate of censorship and sexual misinformation that is causing incredible damage to the teenagers of this country. Last month I was literally THROWN OUT OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL by the headmaster for giving a talk on sexual education in which I advocated abstinence before marriage and warned that condoms are not 100% effective against sexually transmitted diseases.
