According to the petitioner, internet porn leads to "dangerously
increasing" numbers of teenage pregnancies. This must be true, as data
suggests that "teen pregnancy in India is high with 62 pregnant teens out
of every 1,000 women. In comparison, 24 British teens get pregnant before
their 19th birthday while the figure is 42 in the US" *(2008 UNFPA report).
*

At least half those pregnant Indian teens could be watching internet porn
with their men, as 47% of our girls are married off before 18.

Sex education is also to blame. The petitioner believes that it helps
spread "free sex culture and increase in pornography" and leads to sticky
biology text books in school libraries or something.
