Also, today, what I consider a better alternative to my mandatory birth control implant idea occurred to me. What about just mandating that their guardians have to bring them in every year (or however often it's required) to get the birth control shot? They can't just "forget" to take it like a birth control pill or a patch, and it doesn't leave an implant.
Yeah, there's still the free will issue, but people under the age of 18 don't have much free will anyway. Everything is mandated already.
The vaccine is every 3 months, and again, I will say NO WAY IN HELL!
I was thinking though.. How about an insert they put in the girl parts like the Ring or T, IUD or IUC but that DON'T contain any hormones besides the safe and necessary ones? And are made of SAFE plastic or copper. These things last 12 months. But I fear the mental trauma of having something inserted in the body is pretty harsh considering the % of girls who are actually sexually active is small compared to those who aren't (it's just not fair to treat them all the same). And I have no faith that they would be holistic if they were mass produced for the country. It's just a bad idea period.
Boys need to wear condoms end of story. Encourage condom use and popularity like they do in Europe. The government could make the comfortable (feels like it's not even there) kind, available for cheaper or for free. I'm pretty sure giving every boy that hits puberty a box full of condoms he probably wont even use, would be cheaper than any birth control method for a teenage woman. Hell, give the girl's condoms too, so they can carry them around too in case their man forgets theirs. Condoms are the best option out there, we should just expand their acceptance and popularity with propaganda.
Condoms would be the ideal solution. The problem is that no one seems to want to use them. Contraception only works if people use it (and use it effectively).
Birth control shots take the "Whoops, I just forgot in the heat of the moment," out of the equation. As an aside, I also think that there are potential complications with using copper IUDs. Isn't that why they were pulled off the market? (Obviously there are potential complications with all IUDs, but still.)
