Uganda Lawmakers reject contraceptives for 15 years old girls
Lawmakers in Uganda have rejected a proposal by the government to give the nod for 15-year-old girls to have access to birth control pills. The Deputy Speaker, Thomas Tayebwa, described the proposal as devilish and stressed that it would officially promote the defilement of girls in the country. Almost a quarter of 15- to 19-year-old girls in Uganda are either pregnant or are already mothers.
