But wasn't there a case not so long ago in which a school arranged one of their pupils to have an abortion without her mothers knowledge let alone consent. I was sickened by this - what right do they have to take over and help make childrens/young adult decisions without the parents involved.
It only came out because the girl couldn't bear telling her mum and regretted doing the termination.
The ironic thing was she (the girl) became pregnant again!!!
Have I got this wrong? Maybe she was over 16?
