You have to be very careful with correlation and causation here. It's not like that was the only change in that time period. It's also been shown in many, many studies that contraceptive education is a lot more effective than abstinence education.

Yeah this is sounding like one of those "more bars = more churches QED church means more drunks" correlations. With rapid changing demos in the UK l, i dont think there could be any one factor

The article points out the contraceptive education handed out contraceptives as well - which would be a major confounding factor. Easy access would easily increase the willingness of teens to go at it - and it doesn't take a genius to guess that horny teens aren't always getting it right in the heat of the moment.

It is a point worth considering. I'd say it's a little odd to hand them out. That doesn't mean that is the only - or even primary variable at play though.

Yup, this post being upvoted is just confirmation bias.

It's also been shown in many, many studies that contraceptive education is a lot more effective than abstinence education.

In a world where we know that data is regularly manipulated to push an anti-white, anti-Christian ideological narrative, I don't know how you can look at any of those "studies" without an extreme amount of skepticism.

Further, how many of those studies are of White children? I'd venture a guess and say not a lot.

Always look at everything with some skepticism. But considering how teenagers think, the more plausible option seems clear. At least to me.
