Sex at ease: France offers free contraception for girls under the age of 25

Olivier Veran said that girls under the age of 25 would not need to be charged with medical meetings, testing or other medical procedures related to birth control.

This would cover hormonal contraceptives, the biological tests that go with it, the concept description, and all related care for girls under the age of 25,” the minister said in an interview, Periscope follows.

There is a drop in contraceptive use among a certain number of women and the only reason seems to be financial. It costs too much. It's unacceptable that women can't defend themselves, that they can have contraceptions if that's their choice, of course, because they can't afford it,” added Veran.

The concepts have been free in France for girls between the ages of 15 and 18 since 2013.

This has led to a decline in abortions.

The government has said that last year nearly a thousand girls aged 12 to 14 were pregnant in France. /Periscope
