Today in Abortion News

Manchester Evening News - 'Teachers at Salford School help girl pupil, 15, have an abortion without telling her parents'
News article from today.
The school did absolutely the right thing in this case. I have worked in schools before, and I’ve taught a lot of teenage girls in my time. If at any point had a pupil approach me in confidence about such matters, I would have done everything I could to help. It is your responsibility as an adult and as a role model to be compassionate and help young people make their own decisions, whether you personally agree with them or not.

Family Planning Facts


A while back I started a series of family planning facts on Tumblr, and I thought they might do nicely here too. I might make them a weekly or biweekly feature.
