A British study has shown that one in five girls aged 13 to 15 would like the age of consent raised from 16 to 18 to make it easier for them to say no to sex. The survey based on responses to questionnaires completed under exam conditions by 2,250 13 to 15-year-olds at 21 schools from England between November 1999 and March 2000, highlights the difficulties many girls have in fending off unwanted sexual advances from boyfriends and resisting peer pressure to have sex. The report also noted that twenty one per cent thought sex education helped prevent teen pregnancy, while 33 per cent disagreed. https://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/2000/09/08/timnwsnws01002.html

The same old Baal and Moloch … always crave the blood of the weakest and the most vulnerable.
