We’re teachers, not abortion-mongers
by Maria Horan, TCW:
Though I couldn’t attend the teachers’ National Education Union conference this Easter, I have just read about the motion that was passed, ‘that pupils should be given information about abortion in the classroom’.
It was led by Jennifer Marchant, from the union’s Derby and Derbyshire branch, stating that: ‘This is about giving students information so they can make their decisions.’ Despite an undisclosed amount of UK taxpayers’ money going to the abortion industry, for some inexplicable reason, Ms Marchant still believes that we teachers need to give underage students ‘facts’ on how to procure an abortion. Ms Marchant must have missed the memo, because there are already countless underage girls having abortions across the country, most of whom do so without parental consent, once they are deemed ‘mature enough’ (whatever that means) by a doctor. In light of yet another child sex abuse grooming scandal revealed in Telford, it was remarkably insensitive of Ms Marchant even to suggest this motion.
Amongst the recent numerous shambolic findings by the Care Quality Commission in various Marie Stopes clinics, the one that should be of greatest concern to Ms Marchant is the lack of consent reported to be given by underage girls to abortion procedures and lack of training of staff to ensure consent was freely given, though we should correctly question how much consent a child under the age of sixteen (or even eighteen) can really give to a procedure and the consequences which she doesn’t yet have the maturity fully to comprehend.
