Would you support mandatory -reversible- contraceptive methods in underage people?

[Anonymous]

I mean long lasting methods such as IUD (Intra Uterine Dispositive) or dermal implants for women and RISUG for men (Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance). The last one hasn't been approved yet but all three are reversible methods and they can last for up to 10 years.

Delaying parenthood is a good thing in my opinion. People who wait to have kids are better able to pursue higher education, become stable in a career, save money for a home and kids, and provide stability and consistency for their kids throughout their lifetime.

If implemented at 14/15 years old people would have the option to delay parenthood until after getting an education or reverse the procedure once they're old enough.

Would you support it if it was mandatory in your country for underage people?

If you don't approve, what do you think would be the negative consequences for preventing teen pregnancies?

I am underage and I wouldn't support it

I'm an adult and I wouldn't support it

Regarding bodily autonomy and free will: remember I'm talking about minors and not adults. Of course minors have free will-to an extent- but they're still their parents responsibility and once they're old enough they would be free to remove the implant of choice and start a family as adults.

[ChrisMaster69]

Nope, that’s like so wrong on so many levels.

a bit of left field thinking, why not actually provide young adults effective and realistic sex education, including everything about sexuality.
then also make the likes of condoms, female contraception more available, without embarrassment or judgement at using it.

make it so you can get it readily at 8 am and at 9pm.

make more after pills available via health centres, put in controls if required but just make it so.

above all treat them like young adults but protect, nurture and deal with them intelligently.

[ChrisMaster69]

@ Pink Anon asker, could you consider referring to them as young adults rather than minors.

A lot of these people are able to have part time and full time jobs, in Scotland are able to vote, at 16 legally allowed to marry and have sex.

They are forging their way ahead in the world, yes I agree that unplanned pregnancies can dramatically impact a young life, however mandating what a 17 yr old can and cannot do is wrong in regards to their bodies. Only when the law is there for protection should it be used this way.
Forcing someone to undergo this is simply wrong,

[Asker]

I agree with what you say, it's ideal but sadly it isn't happening at least not where I live

[Asker]

My bad, I meant minors as in underage because I know age of consent varies

[ChrisMaster69]

@ asker, even then it is a slippery slope to having adults others etc do things without consent of the person.
Where it keeps them safe from harm yes.

It’s scary thought mandating something as draconian.

I still stand by my original comments about sex health, availability of protection etc.
Also educate the parents, a day on GaG shows just how crap some adults are in regards to sex Ed.

[snackthatsmilesback]

The girl ones are only 1% more effective than condoms and can have serious side effects. Just have them bring condoms for their boyfriend. If they really wanna do those things instead they can decide it for themselves.

The boys one if it actually turns out to be 100% effective and 100% reversible, then of course boys should be ALLOWED to get it done, once they're OLD ENOUGH to have sex. Before they can consent to have sex how can they consent to get that done? And parents shouldn't decide something like that for a kid because it doesn't actually have to do with his health or well being, it's just for in the future so he won't get some other parents' kid pregnant if he has sex with them. And again if he can have sex he can decide on whether to do the birth control thing for himself.

[Apple1996]

No way. I got pregnant at 17 and it was the best thing I've ever done in my life. Changed it all for the better so I'd be pretty upset if I was forced to be on birth control at that time.

[5yrup]

the question is about people who are minors now, not you 100 years ago

[Apple1996]

@5yrup I feel the same about teens now. My son is 7 so it wasn't that long ago

[Agape93]

Nope. I’m not supporting someone’s free will and bodily autonomy being taken away from them.

[Asker]

You think kids should be able to conceive if they want to?

[Agape93]

Yeap, even if I think they’d be fucking retarded to do so.

[Asker]

Hmm well, I do not. Not because I don't respect their autonomy but because I think someone else's life is at stake, their baby. So, in this particular case I don't think they should be free to do what they want. Sex? Sure. Birthing another human with no means to take care of it? Nope, nope, nope. Better to grow up first and make the big decisions later

[Agape93]

You’re welcome to your position, I just don’t share it.

[OlderAndWiser]

"Delaying parenthood is a good thing in my opinion." I agree, but I don't think I have the right to impose my judgment on other peoples' lives, and I sure as hell don't want the government imposing their judgments on us!

[fjh80]

Dear God no!!

Don't EVER let government, or any law or rule making entity EVER have the power to do anything to your body. You're talking about implants? Doing this and that to our children?
We're not the fucking Borg!

As soon as you say it's okay to do THAT! Then there will be implants, and chips, and all kinds of fascistic methods of control.

Education is the answer. Education, condoms and beatings. You have to educate the next generations. I know we're talking about 14 and 15 year old's and it's a matter of life, so you need to throw in a box of condoms, and a few beatings so these kids get the point.

I would NEVER encourage people under twenty to have children. I think even 20 is young. You still have a youth to live, but it's not the end of the world. It doesn't justify fucking with the human body. Nature made us and we evolved over thousands of years. We should NOT be fucking with that.

[Neutral_Response]

I feel the Left have pushed this for years and years on how we should allow underage girls to use and be given contraceptives.

It's Wrong! Because if she is not of age and is putting herself at risk of having unprotected sex she's to young realise implications on her, her family, her partner's family. The child's life if it gets a chance to be born.

However it's somehow being normalized and it also fuels very left wing peadofilic agena that's wants to normalize sex with underage girls and what better way to put thst control into a 13,14 or 15 yr old Girls hands. Exploitation will be at peak in America.

[5yrup]

i clicked support but changed my mind almost immediately cuz this encourages young people to have sex all the time with no consequence and also encourages pedophiles, again no consequence

apart from stds but i imagine someone with an iud would also use condoms

[Pasiton5]

Once of she it is the responsibility of that woman to do as she please, it's her don't it's her life, and if underage folks feel they are ready to be adults by engaging in unsafe unprotected sex then if they can show maturity and responsible to go live on their own without any assistance what so ever, the I say good luck to them 18,21 are just a target age there are 15 years old more responsible than 30 years olds, it's an individual thing not across the board in my view,

[TheSpaceGnome]

Forcing anything into someone's body is wrong, invading privacy is wrong, also no safe contraceptive exists so it would put them at risk for disease/death.

[Dchrls78104]

What about delaying sex? What about teaching kids to control their hormones and not live sex starved animals enslaved to their basest instincts? Wouldn't that work better than thrusting unnecessary manmade stuff into such young bodies?

[Steinkopf]

One of my most important rules in life is: Leave kids out of adult bs.
Don't feed them chemicals to change their gender, leave their genitals alone, don't preach them your political views.
Same goes with this. Leave them alone.

[RationalMale]

No. That would invade privacy and human body rights.

Simple alternative: no welfare/social care for children if the parent is under a certain age. Family would pressure said kids to not have children or be super careful.

[genericname85]

i mean those things don't cause any long term harmful effects right? i think in "certain" cases upon consultation of a family therapist, that should probably be an option.

[andy530]

Yea I would support it as long as it was safe long term

[jamesgoldman]

I'm pro the male option but not the female ones
Far too easy to give nonces an open goal in doing such things

[Bellatris]

I'm an adult and I wouldn't support it. It just doesn't seem... right.

[GnatSocks]

Don't go fucking up a kid's hormones just because you're afraid she might get knocked up.

[joeldalton]

Body Autonomy is one of the most basic human rights. I don't support anything that violates that right.

[Asker]

Sure, but I'm talking about minors, parents decide many things over their kids lives. One of them could very well be to delay parenthood until they're all grown up and can make their own choices in life

[joeldalton]

They have body autonomy, also. That's why you can't just go have sex with minors.

[Rangers]

Absolutely not, that's a huge violation of their right to bodily autonomy at best and genocide at worst.

[sixtyeightplusone]

no one should be allowed to breed until they pass an intelligence test and save $100,000

[sheikalana]

I thought IUD was recommended to women who already had kids.

[jasco]

I support the teaching of sex however i don't support forcing my child to do something like that

[SenseiSeptred]

There are many teen parents that are much better parents than many above certain ages adults.

[Anonymous]

No, that would be a terrible idea. The long-term health effects would be negative.

[msc545]

Mandatory interference with normal bodily functions is unacceptable.

[abc3643]

That likely would be unconstitutional.

[NoManTwo]

Now a days parents give young kids puberty blockers if they are Trannies.

Those puberty blockers permanently sterilize kids.

[Anonymous]

No, I would support a social reform bill that makes all sex outside of marriage illegal.

[Synikal]

Not mandatory. People shouldn't have a say so with your body. It's your only temple.

[Anonymous]

"Mandatory?"

No thanks--you can fuck RIGHT off.

[Anonymous]

Mandatory? You must be a left winger. Are you woke?

[Feelicks]

Didn't you post this once already? Still Psycho

[Asker]

Nope, never did and teen pregnancies are a problem in my country. Too many school dropouts, young mothers with multiple kids living in poverty getting monthly stimulus per child, post -illegal- abortion deaths, etc and literally every contraception method is 100% free

[Feelicks]

Sounds like a political issue.

[OddBeMe]

IUDs can be taken out.

[BeMuse]

Nope.
