agreed but not sure it should be absolute all trousers fit all approach.
Take family who can afford 1 kid but invertively the pregnancy gets a freek 2-6 babies. It was not there fault unplaned.
Also sometimes birth control fails again not there fault but in this its grey area if the birth control was not properly used.
Educating kids who do underage pregnancies this big issue in uk needs better work from government on education.
It will be slow process but we have to be mindful mistakes unexpected in life happens.
Not 100% sure all those pregnancies was used as ticket to free life. I would expect many had ambitions in life but life throw spanners. Some down more to scruplous men/boys taking there vunerability in life then getting pregnant fleeing.
Just giving food for thought to the argument so balanced discusion is given. There like some will play the game but should safety nets removed or help removed due to them. I say no.
