I have no problem with the concept opt-out contraception for younger teens, just worries about the safety and long term effects.

Very little money has gone into contra-reproductive medicine in the past few decades. There is a huge fear of lawsuits arising from birth defects since the parent of every baby with a health problem looks for someone to blame & sue, and juries are notoriously generous to such claimants.

In a perfect world, we'd all be in absolute conscious control of our gametes.
