The morning-after pill will be posted out to women for free throughout December under a ‘vulgar’ new scheme which has been slammed by critics. BPAS, (British Pregnancy Advisory Service), is encouraging women to stock up ahead of the Christmas party season. A poster advertising the scheme shows the word ‘sex’ in Christmas-tree lights, and bears the slogan: ‘Getting ‘turned on’ this Christmas?’ And a dedicated website for the controversial service is entitled santacomes.org. Josephine Quintavalle, of the ProLife Alliance, has branded the campaign ‘incredibly vulgar’. Norman Wells, director of the Family Education Trust, said: The pill was supposed to be a prescription-only drug under the control of doctors yet it is now being marketed as a ‘just-in-case’ drug and supplied free of charge. BPAS’s telephone service will inevitably lead to underage girls lying about their age in order to access it.’ A spokesman for BPAS has admitted that some children ‘will not be completely honest about their age’.
Pray: for proper and effective control over the issuing of such drugs. (Pr.4:11)
