Another socially destructive anti-family proposal from ideologically blinkered UK policy wonks.
Schoolchildren should be given compulsory lessons about the benefits of abortion, ministers' advisers on sex education claim.
Abortion should be included in teaching about sex to ensure that girls who become pregnant 'can make an informed decision' about whether to have one, they said.
. . .
The recommendation from the Independent Advisory Group on Teenage Pregnancy would mean – if accepted by the Government – that pupils would be taught about abortion from the age of 11.But they could also have abortion lessons in primary schools that teach children from the age of five.
The group, which reports to Education Secretary Alan Johnson and Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt, has repeatedly called for sex education classes to be made compulsory and to include testing for all pupils down to the age of five.
At present only secondary schools need to provide sex education lessons, and parents have the right to withdraw their children. Primary schools must by law have a policy on 'personal, social and health education', but do not need to provide lessons.
This is so bonkers one hardly knows where to begin. Anyone who thinks that teenagers know too little about abortion just isn’t living in the real world. How about teaching school children they’re not emotionally and psychologically ready to deal with sexual relationships, never mind killing their unborn babies?
The advisory group specifies that the classes are to cover only the “benefits” of abortion, not the risks. That belies the group’s purported desire to ensure that pregnant teens “can make an informed decision”. Can you say “indoctrination”?
The Advisory Group report called for more state spending to make the lives of teenage single parents more comfortable. It said they should have 'personal advisers to provide an all-encompassing package of support'.
Do you think there’s any chance that someone who opposes abortion or sexual activity among unmarried teenagers would be hired as one of those “personal advisors”?
If this toxic proposal is implemented, watch for an increase in the number of British children schooled at home and other venues outside the immediate control of the government.
The Telegraph informs us of another idiotic suggestion from the advisory group:
Free condoms should be handed to children — possibly as young as 12 — in sports halls, shops and swimming baths, Government advisers suggested yesterday.
. . .
[C]ondoms should be "easily accessible to young people" and "new and creative approaches of getting condoms into the community would be the next logical step", it says.
Hand out free condoms to children in “swimming baths”? Paedophiles will love that.

I’m an ausy who can’t beleive what I read , who’s brainchild is this, could be suss, get him up against the wall.
No seriously, I thought compulsory lessons and testing of kids as young as five about the benefits of abortion to be nothing short of abuse. Let them be children for as long as they can , this is the sort of thing that would damage them. What on earth are the child welfare people saying about it? Something I hope

I keep thinking it won’t get any stranger. I keep discovering I’m wrong about that.
[...] Among the first who should pay attention to this overdue wake-up call are those misguided policy wonks who want schoolchildren to be given lessons on abortion, followed closely by politicians and bureaucrats who think promoting daycare is a legitimate goal of public policy, while encouraging marriage is not.

World wide there are over 3,500 terminations carried out every day. Thats well over 1.3 million every year. In the US fifty percent of all cases, claimed birth control was used, forty-eight percent used no precaution, and two percent had medical reasons.
That’s a stagering ninety-eight percent that could have been prevented had an effective birth control been used. That’s sad.
Don’t get me wrong, I suspect the figures in Australia would be much the same. Just a whole lot of unnessesary killing.
Seems to me the education needs to be about effective birth control and the importance of preventing unwanted pregnancies. NOT ABORTION.

Sum it up this way – anyone looking to the British for an example in morality would do well to look elsewhere – like Poland. The minds proposing this kind of trash are already warped beyond measure with no redemption available.
Homeschooling is becoming a vital tool these days and it should be used even more in the UK. I would noramlly recommend morally minded Brits to take their kids to a Christian school but with all schools, including Christian, being forced to teach homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle, that doesn’t seem to be a viable option.
Britain – where morality’s competition is the public sewer.
Lessons in depravity…
School children in Britain, and most other places in the Western world, are receiving instruction that is not only demonstrably ineffective but arguably depraved. It’s called sex education. Daily Mail columnist Peter Hitchens writes:
