Trouble in Paradise

シングルマザー

その理由があまりに多いティーンエイジャーのシングルマザーだろう。街を歩いていても、子供が子供を連れているような風景をよくみる。しかし、どうも性教育が遅れているのか、避妊に対する感心が低いのか、出生率は同じEUの国と比べると、ドイツの２倍、フランスの３倍、オランダの６倍にもなるそうだ、

Teenagers should be able to get confidential advice on contraception at school along with supplies of condoms and pills according to a report yesterday from the government’s advisory group on teenage pregnancy.

All pregnant young women should have early access to abortion if they wish free on the NHS it said. None should be made to wait because local GPs were reluctant to recommend abortion to a girl under 16.

Ministers appointed the advisory group to ensure progress was made toward the government’s target of halving the number of teenage conceptions by 2010.

The UK has the highest rate of teenage births in western Europe: twice the rate in Germany three times higher than France and six times higher than the Netherlands
