I wish sterilization was legal in my country. I don't want to be poisoning myself with all the hormones. I guess in the future I will use condoms, but still, it's awful that the law here says that women can't make that decision themselves

  I agree with you. The hormones are not poison though either.

  They are not litteraly a poison, but they aren't completely harmless either. I have weak organism in general, and I don't even wanna risk gaining weight, having more acne or lowering my libido

  Yes, there are many ways you can get free contraception in the US. If you have health insurance, contraception is probably covered, but many places have programs for uninsured/underinsured women to get contraceptin. My first suggestion is for you to contact your doctor directly, or Planned Parenthood, our your county public health department.

  Availability of free or low cost contraception is a challenge but there's usually a way if a person's income is low enough. Most employer plans cover contraception. It is NOT as easy to get as it should be.

That YouTube channel is excellent - I can't believe I hadn't come across it before! I really like this video about hitting on people and consent:

This is really useful! It’s good for people to know ALL their options instead of just thinking of condoms or the pill

I think condoms are the best protection. But the sort of contraception depends on stage of relationship I think.

What about abortion?

  Because I wanted to speak specifically about contraception. Abortion is not contraception.
- Jason407

  Eh it is though. Or at least girls use it like a contraception when they forget to use a condom.
- MlleCake
  +1 y
  No, contraception is specifically something that prevents conception. Abortion happens after conception. I have been working in this field since I was your age, and I never met a woman who simply used abortion instead of contraception. That's an oft repeated trope, but I see no real evidence of that.

  Well I know that most abortions are done on healthy babies and are not a result of rape. If a woman doesn't consider keeping the baby and instantly aborts, without thought or debate, then she is using it as a birth control. Lets face it, Feminism has thought young women to hate kids, hence why women support abortion so much. The truth is that girls prefer dogs and having a career to having kids. So emmmm, yes it is used as a contraceptive but keep living in your imagination.
- MlleCake

  You appear to have been educated about abortion by propaganda, and not the reality of "who" and "why". That said, this take isn't about abortion. I believe abortions decline when people have education and access to contraception, which is why I posted this simple take.
- Jason407
  +1 y
  Yeah whatever. Girls hate kids that's a fact, no wonder they love abortion so much. I am a guy so I don't care I'll just run off if I get a girl pregnant.
- MlleCake

  That sure makes you sound classy.
- Jason407

  And women who abort their kids are? Ahaha good one.
- MlleCake
  +1 y
  I haven't made any comment about them really, that's you. This take isn't about abortion.
- Jason407
  +1 y
  It's about contraceptive and women preventing having kids - which includes abortion. But whatever. You're clearly an abortion loving Feminist who doesn't realize women use it like a birth control and they hate kids.

  Abortion isn't contraception, and wasn't the purpose of this post. If it concerns you to reduce the number of abortions women have, understanding and promoting contraception is proven to help reduce abortion rates.

  Abortion is basically a contraceptive though, don't fool yourself honey.
- MlleCake

  No, abortion prevents a birth, but it is not contraception. Contraception prevents a pregnancy from occurring, so also prevents an abortion. You simply don't understand what the word contraception means.
- MlleCake
  +1 y
  con·tra·cep·tion ˌkäntrəˈsepSH (ə) n/ noun noun: contraception the deliberate use of artificial methods or other techniques to prevent pregnancy as a consequence of sexual intercourse. The major forms of artificial contraception are barrier methods, of which the most common is the condom; the contraceptive pill, which contains synthetic sex hormones that prevent ovulation in the female; intrauterine devices, such as the coil, which prevent the fertilized ovum from implanting in the uterus; and male or female sterilization.

  You're still fooling yourself. It is used like one by a lot of women and the result is the same as say a condom - no baby.

  I appreciate that you still don't know what the word contraception means, despite my giving you the definition, but this take isn;t about abortion. You're the one who brought that up, and you're the one who made all sorts of assumptions about me that have nothing to do with anything I have actually said. You are misinformed about abortion - you have allowed yourself to follow propaganda, and not real statistics. That's not my fault. So I am not sure why you're pissing in my cornflakes about it. This take is about preventing pregnancies, and what methods are currently available in the US. Using contraception prevents the need for abortion. If you were interested in preventing abortion, you would want to support contraceptive education. All you're doing is being a childish troll, an especially uninformed one at that.
- Jason407
  +1 y
  What statistics? It's a fact that 90% of abortions are done for reasons which are NOT fetal abnormalities or rape. So 90% of abortions are done on perfectly healthy babies, so that the baby won't "bother" the mother. Women see their kids as disposable trash and it's fucking gross amd cruel. But whatever.

  Well, you're so upset about how women treat their children, I figured you'd had some personal experience with being treated as disposable. That's very unfortunate for you.

  She wanted me. She is Pro-Life. Women who abort think of their unborn babies as disposable trash, fact. Stop beig childish.

  Just stop being petty and childish. You know I am right about Abortion and abortion is of the same topic as contraceptives.
- MlleCake

  No, abortion is not a contraceptive. Have you learned nothing in this discussion? This take is specifically about preventing pregnancies. You're the one that asked about abortion. That was your choice. There is much you don't understand about abortion, and that is quite clear. Why you chose to turn this into an abortion debate I can't figure. People who are against abortion should be supporting an understanding of contraception. You are just babbling a bunch of propaganda that has no basis in truth.

Just saying, most guys think that girls who take birth control are sluts and don't see them as long term relationship material.
