Same, I actively checked for the purpose of making that post.
Now adapt it for use by everybody, and (with parental permission and/or an opt-in scheme) make it available for free in schools the same as the Gardasil vaccination. That would save a lot of hassle and keep a lot of young lives on track.
That would be amazing. Zero “accidents”. Only deliberate decisions by two genetic parents. Bonus if family can be legally more than those two if desired.
Many will yell eugenics if you need to get birth control turned off. Frankly, I don’t care.
I look at it as a safety feature, allowing young bodies to mature before the strain of reproducing (being quite young = higher risk pregnancies) and young minds to mature before a life altering event. It doesn’t carry the health risks of other long acting contraceptives, ie. the effects of long term Depo Provera on bone density.
Also there’s the whole opt-in aspect of voluntarily signing up for it - it’s explicitly by choice. Having it reversed should also be free.
Also there should still be supports to finish education, get housing and secure jobs/pensions even if there were unplanned pregnancies. Allowing young or single parents to struggle and kids to grow up in poverty/unstable situations is inhumane and just creates future problems.
I agree with pretty much everything you say, while admitting there is a potential for abusive denial.
Personally never broke a bone until over 30. Can long term Depo be blamed for that change? Dunno. Surgically fixed now so hormonal funkiness is all ‘natural’
Abusive denial like parents not giving permission? Yeah. Unfortunately with all the push around ‘parents rights’ I can’t see kids being automatically allowed to do this without parental permission. I think there may be permissions for minors to seek existing reproductive care without parents being notified but I’d have to double check.
It could also be abusive by being forced on disabled or young people by guardians/the government but that’s already been happening for a long time with other methods.
Ohh! I thought Vasalgal had been dropped by corporate fucknuckles! This is fantastic news! More options for everyone 😺
