Lost a whole bloody post. HATE that.

I am an advocate of giving the implant (3-5 years) to any girl after menstruation.
Too hard to police to expect it to become a reality, but perhaps in future something could be developed that will only become activated after menstruation.

The conservative viewpoint is once you remove the possibility of pregnancy, you will spawn a generation of kids who will fuck on the streets. Exaggeration, but I've read some terrible predictions from the '60s that just didn't happen. Instead, there was a culture shift where those with education took advantage of contraception and those who lived in parts of society where pregnancy was venerated or at least not seen as a negative carried on regardless.

Enforced contraception sounds so totalitarian.
But what advantage is there to either the individual or society in letting 14 year olds breed? It's not fair to them, it's not fair to society and it's not fair to their children. Or your children, who will grow up in that generation.

Y'all know I'm an atheist.
I put the BORN child and the mother before the mass of cells existing in a womb. But I would still prefer to see children not faced with the decision of abortion. Yeah, mostly because they don't seem to choose it anyway, old witch that I am.

That was a lot more stream of consciousness than my last considered post. But I figure I can come back and reply in a more sensible fashion if this damned machine doesn't eat my log in again.
