Un-fucking believable

SCHOOLGIRLS are being given special cards so they can get the morning-after pill without having to say a word.
In the pilot scheme girls of 16 will be given the contraceptive after presenting the request card at pharmacy counters without facing any awkward questions.
Even younger girls can be given the pill if doctors give permission.
The initiative has been thought up by the Dorset Primary Care Trust.
It is being tested in Weymouth which has an alarmingly high rate of teenage pregnancies – 49 in every 1,000 girls.
Keith Williams, trust adviser, said: “It’s daunting for young girls to go into a pharmacy and say out loud ‘I’ve had unprotected sex.’
“Dorset is community-based and there maybe somebody in there that you know.”
But Mike Judge of the Christian Institute blasted: “It’s highly irresponsible. We should be urging children to say no to sex until older.”
