A rise in the sexually transmitted disease Chlamydia in school children between ages 12 and 15 has made it necessary to have Health Respect Drop-in Centres in all of Edinburgh's secondary schools which include three Catholic schools according to health officials.   In these centres children as young as 13 can drop in and be handed free condoms and contraceptive implants.   Officials are yet to make clear the kind of advice that will be given these kids especially the younger ones and so it seems many church leaders and parents who have spoken out are not particularly pleased with the decision as they fear they will be left in the dark regarding the choices their kids are making.

A new door is opening for you, A door to a lifetime of rejection ... its inevitable... how do you cope with it. I hear Valium and Vicodin work."   Hmm, some speech if you ask me.

The USA is one of the countries in the world where the capital punishment is still in force, but not all states in the country endorse it and about 18 of it's 50 states have actually banned it. Well, the state of Nebraska is set to become the 19th state in the country to ban the death penalty, after its legislature voted 32-15 to end capital punishment in the state. This is a decision the state's republican Governor Pete Ricketts is not pleased with as he has vowed to veto the decision despite the fact that it might just be a mere formality as the votes to end the death penalty exceeded the 30 or less required for him to have any veto power. This bill will be retrospective meaning the eleven prisoners already on death row will have their sentences converted to life imprisonment. Some of those who voted to have capital punishment banned in the state, did so on religious grounds while some others thought it was just an expensive Government waste.
