Never refuse a smear to any women under the age of 25

What the petition asks
If the government won't lower the age of smear testing from the age of 25, at least do not refuse a woman a smear if she feels it's necessary. Currently, you can be refused if you're under 25, why? We all know our own body and through this we can save so many more women out there. Girl power!
Currently women can be refused smears if under 25 - lets change this.
We have tried multiple times for the age to be lowered, with no success, so lets try and at least get this petition into action so we can at least have the right to be tested if we feel we need to be! Money is nothing compared to a life!
