On a day when Democrats (including President Obama) agreed to drop Federal funding for birth control from the stimulus bill, a new study was released in Britain indicating a huge spike in repeat abortions by teenage girls...
Among the findings, according to the Daily Mail:
In England in 2007, almost 6,000 girls, teenage or younger, had their second, third, or fourth abortions; that's about double the figure for the same study conducted in 1991. The Mail attributes some of this behavior to underage boozing marathons i.e. binge drinking, but we have to wonder if there's any correlation between this and the rise in the number of teenagers calling themselves "Christians." Just asking.
The number of abortions performed on teenage girls who have had at least one before has risen by almost 70 per cent since 1991, fuelling fears that terminations are being carried out for lifestyle reasons.

'I think that young women who have had one abortion fall into two camps.
'There is one that understands the ongoing consequences and another that (is) very cavalier and hardened about it and have entered a phase of regarding it as a backup method of contraception.
Meanwhile, the story's righthand column focuses on the sex lives of Royals, whether it's okay for teenage lovers to sleep in the same bedroom, and an article titled: "Mummy, why have you got boobs on your back? How one woman was shocked into dieting." Again, we're just mentioning it.
