Yes, my thoughts exactly. On reading the headline, I was utterly gobsmacked! Temporary contraception without parental consent is bad enough, but sterilisation? Good grief.

Exactly, contraception without parental permission or at least notification is bad enough. The headline is outrageous.
I take it you went to "British" schools whether in the UK or elsewhere around the world? I know of many of the various "suspenders-braces" and other word confusions between their meaning in the US and UK, so that was my first guess on this one. Hard to believe even the British press would right such a misleading headline and use the same inflamatory terminology in the article. Thanks for the clarification.
