i thought i would put this here....
new guidelines on helping under 16 year olds with abortion have come under fire from anti abortionists.
the new rules are to allow under 16s to seek abortions without the parental knowledge if the teen wishes this.

personally i back the plan, most parents would 'kick off' knowing their 'inoccent teen' was pregnant.
but in some cases there maybe future regrets about the abortion.
but i can see the point of view from the governments proposals, better to speak to someone whos a proffesional rather than leave it untill its too late.
there is also the potential stress that can be caused on the child because the parents are levyng a heavy amount of pressure on the child because of her actions.
