LONDON, United Kingdom, September 11, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - School children 11 years and older should be given compulsory classes promoting abortion as part of sex education, a ministers’ advisory group has recommended.
The group has also pushed for the establishment of mandatory sex education classes for children as young as five, which would include information on abortion under the recommendation of the current report, according to coverage by the Evening Standard.
The report called for lessons that would present the benefits of abortion, so pregnant teenage girls could “make an informed decision” about ending their pregnancy, as well as information combating the “myths” that dissuade teenagers from aborting their pregnancies--concerns that abortion might lead to future infertility was one of the “myths” that needed to be addressed, said the report authors.
The Independent Advisory Group on Teenage Pregnancy reports to Education Secretary Alan Johnson and Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt.
The Government campaign to reduce teen pregnancies through sex education has come under heavy criticism from groups concerned by the ease with which young girls can obtain abortions, frequently without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
“It is absolute rubbish to say that young people do not know about abortion. They know only too much about abortion,” Phyllis Bowman of Right to Life told the Standard.
“The education establishment has continued to ignore the results of 30 years of its policies on sex education which has pushed abortion under the noses of young people.”
About 4000 abortions are performed annually on girls younger than 16, according to the Standard. Another 35,000 girls between 16 and 19 undergo abortions each year.
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children warned recently that the front-runner in Britain’s coming election, MP Gordon Brown, has a dismal record on life-related issues equal or worse to that of the administration of Prime Minister Tony Blair.
“Mr. Brown has voted consistently in favour of abortion,” said SPUC political secretary Anthony Ozimic, reported BBC News. “In 1990, he voted with the pro-abortion lobby no fewer than 16 times - three times for abortion up to birth, including for disabled babies; twice for abortion on demand in early pregnancy; once to extend the Abortion Act to Northern Ireland; once for selective foeticide in multiple pregnancies; once to facilitate RU486; once to suppress information about abortions on disabled babies; and seven times for other pro-abortion positions.”
Ozimic said in light of MP Brown’s “hardline pro-abortion record,” any review of abortion law in the near future would be “exceptionally dangerous.”
Western Civilization is the best thing that every happened to mankind. Naturaly Satan wishes to destroy it. How better than by inducing its heirs to commit suicide?
There is an old saying that provides the best advice to kids and teenagers about morality, which is:
"Keep your future in your PANTS!"
Not only are they killing the unborn, they are stealing childhood from those that made it to life!
So would they also be in favor of teachijng all the stages that the fetus goes through and letting them see a real live sonogram at about 20 weeks?
Well the twin sacraments of the modern left are abortion and homosexual activity, so of course public school children need to be indoctrinated early in these sacred tenets.

The Muslims will not like this.
Eventually the Stalinist-Saladinist pact will come to its logical conculsion, so get your popcorn out.
I wouldn't be betting the house on that...
Of course it will. Totalitarians always turn on each other.
Well, at least I'm glad to see the "ministers" in question are Labour Party politicians, not more crazies from the Church of England as I initially thought when I saw that headline.
I suppose if you can conceive of a Minister of Silly Walks, the next logical step is a Minister to Promote Abortion Among Children.
Why not just hire pedophiles and perverts and other sex offenders to teach Pre-K.
Thats the Agenda: Stop playing around and get it done.
Sarcasm? Not really : It seems to be the way these people think. Start the kids out with sex before they even grow their first pubies.
Keep your damn hands and moral corruption away from MY CHILDREN!!!
I'm sure they absolutely love this - this will make it all that much easier to conquer Britain through numbers.
I'll bet that they will not show these children the photos of what an abortion really does to unborn children. As a matter of fact, if most people saw what an aborted child looked like, I'm almost positive that abortions would be banned.

between this and 1984 pretty much everything coming out of the domestic side of UK political news fits in.
Because we were talking about political issues I told my son what abortion was. I didn't have to go into much detail. Just knowing someone would want to kill their child before they are born was enough to make him sick.
Sex education for 5-year-olds. This is either because someone thinks that 5-year-olds have a need to know about sex, or because someone thinks the indoctrination needs to start that early. School should be separate from the goernment in the same way and for similar reasons that the church is.
This is so horrific, addressing the problem of teen pregnancy by telling girls to kill their babies.
