If she is already sexually active, prescribing contraception is considerably more appropriate than either abortion or gym-slip motherhood. I may not have been sexually active at 14, but I was certainly more than capable of making informed decisions for myself. -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Clementine Amawo Sent: 13 May 2004 10:31 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [data-protection] Termination What? Just because she is 'Mature(!!!)' enough to get pregnant? _______________________________ Clementine Amawo Information Management Officer (IT) Circle 33 Housing Group DL: 020 7288 4131 Email: [log in to unmask] Web: www.circle33.org >>> "Broom, Doreen" <[log in to unmask]> 13/05/2004 09:42:49 >>> ***** THIS EMAIL WAS SENT VIA THE INTERNET ***** Hi All Heard on the news this morning that a girl of 14 had approached a Social Worker at school to say she was pregnant. They arranged a process of taking a pill - the first one had already been taken and the mother found out. Reasoned decision was made that the girl was of mature enough mind to enable her to make a reasoned decisin herself without her parents consent.... Just wondered, will the DP get some more flak here?
