What was wrong with what Jonathan Ross said on Russell Brand's show was that it made public events which should not have been disclosed, or certainly not broadcast to the nation. It was wrong that this young woman's name was thus bandied about. What was said wasn't untrue; it was the saying that was unacceptable and ought to have been edited out.

As for young women using contraceptives or, if all goes awry, taking the morning after pill, good. It is, after all, a million times better than outcomes that would occur without them. Surely no-one actually wants to encourage even more unwanted, unaffordable children or even more abortions, legal or otherwise.
