Rejected petition LOWER THE AGE OF "SMEAR" TEST FROM 25 TO 20+

Women still pose a risk to getting cervical cancer between the ages of 20-25. And only be recommended by your doctor to attend a smear at age 25. For that percentage of people that get cervical cancer before 25 it is too late.
We should be able to have access and treatments sooner.

More details

So if it is a risk to perform a smear on women younger than 25..
Why do you carry out abortions to those under 25? Even those under 18?

And the procedure in which the female goes under anesthetic and the fetus gets suctioned from the mothers uterus. That in its self poses a higher risk to the female body, in some cases even death on the table.

But you still as a country carry out abortions to women ages between 14+? But cannot provide women tests to check their health?
