Brits Push Birth Control for 13-Year-Old Girls

(United Kingdom) In order to minimize the number of teen pregnancies, the British government has launched a program to "increase the uptake of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC)" to girls starting at age 13.

Inoculations are reportedly effective for three months. Additionally, the government ordered more school-based clinics for sexual health services.

Critics say that the contraceptive program is a license for promiscuity and doesn't consider the impact of an expected rise in sexually-transmitted diseases, already a significant problem. Furthermore, health expert Dr. Hans Raabe said, "I have not seen a single convincing study to show that the provision of contraception leads to a reduction in teenage pregnancy."

Obviously, Dr. Raabe is referring to instances where contraception is recommended and available, not where it's forced. Forced contraception works.

The LARC program of 100% guaranteed infertile through a jab in the arm as yet is not mandatory.
