UK: Boys As Young As 12 To Be Given "Credit Cards" For Obtaining Condoms

I am always concerned when I see lunacy like this in the UK, because I think it is sad that kids are not allowed to be kids; they are actually being taught to be sexually active as young as possible.  It also concerns me because it probably  won't be long until someone proposes this nonsense in this country.

The UK Department for Children, Schools and Families has announced a new program that will give boys as young as 12 a condom "credit card", or "C-card", allowing them to receive free condoms at sport fields, clubs and barbershops.

The strategy was thought up by the Brook Advisory Service, a UK organization that promotes contraception to teenagers, as a way of providing more condoms to teenagers with the hope that it will help cut teenage pregnancies.

Britain has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe, Times Online reports, and the government has failed in its pledge to halve rates of pregnancy in girls under the age of 18.  That's because they haven't taught abstinence.
