So, a couple of London boroughs are trialling the provision of the Pill without a prescription in a bid to reduce teenage pregnancies in an area which sees more than 200 morning-after pills issued in a month. Of course, it’s going to be controversial with religious and conservative groups. And of course, they are going to make tits of themselves talking about it.
Quote of the day comes from Mark Haughton, of the Christian Medical Fellowship:
I’m not aware of any evidence this is going to be effective. It may be pouring petrol on the flames.
