Waking Up to the Morning-After Pill

How parents are being undermined by the promotion of emergency hormonal birth control to under-16s
Norman Wells and Helena Hayward

Waking Up to the Morning-After Pill documents how the emergency pill came to be vigorously promoted among children and young people, to the extent that three-fifths of Primary Care Trusts are now prepared to insist on its supply to girls under the age of 16 as a condition of granting a pharmacy licence.

The emergency pill is a key strand in government’s teenage pregnancy strategy, but is there any evidence that making it more readily available to girls under 16 will reduce unwanted pregnancy and abortion rates or stem the rise in sexually transmitted infections?

This book weighs up the evidence and concludes that the confidential provision of the emergency pill to underage girls strikes at the heart of the relationship between parents and children and carries with it serious health risks and negative social consequences.

Why Save Sex?

All too often teaching aimed at encouraging young people to refrain from sexual intimacy outside marriage is portrayed in a negative way – a matter of ‘just saying no’. However, the fact is that saving sex for marriage is positive and liberating.

This is a message today’s teenagers desperately need to hear, but many are currently being denied the opportunity. The failure to confine sex to marriage is responsible not only for high teenage conception rates and the sexual health crisis in the UK, but also for much family breakdown and the untold human misery that flows from it. Why Save Sex? presents sexual intimacy as something powerful and special, and offers four positive reasons to save sex for marriage.
