Oh, wait, that's an invasion of your privacy and autonomy.. yet you're okay with forcing women to take hormonal contraceptives, have IUDs placed, or undergo sterilization, to preserve your ideal of a "baby free" society.
Governments do not like the idea of enforcing reproduction limits. Why? Because, even though people moan about supporting people through social programs, the government can't afford to destroy its future tax base. If the population declines, they'll have to increase taxes per capita to maintain the same budget, and no government ever wants to speak those words to its citizens.
The same people who are bitching about overpopulation/babies suck don't seem to be bothered by the government wanting to defund Planned Parenthood, which is a program educating citizens and providing the services these people would rather the government shove down people's throats. If you really cared so much about these issues, why aren't you out there protesting that bill with the *women* who value those services? If the government will defund PP, how do you ever think they'd support a mandatory program of the same services??
If the government ever tries to tell me I have to take hormones until I pass a test to have a kid, I'm rioting and moving elsewhere. No one gets to tell me what I get to do with my own body, especially not my government.

Give me a male birth control pill, I'd swallow the thing till the day I die. Do I get a free vasectomy? If you would have told me I could have a free one when I was 18, I would have been in the doctor's office in a heartbeat. That would have made me the happiest teenager on the planet if you told me I didn't have a chance in hell of having some unwanted podling that I'd have to raise by myself (which if you take in account the women I've slept with, I would have been a single father). I can't even get health insurance now, neither less free sterilization. When I was 19 in the doctor's office, I asked about vasectomy and completely got the cold shoulder. Some BS about "you will think differently when are older" and he starts telling me about the meds I get.
Don't think because I want mandatory contraceptives or sterilization, doesn't mean I want them just for women. I mean EVERYONE,
male and female. Just cause you have the right biological parts, doesn't mean you need or are ready to breed.
I am completely for PP and I hate that it's getting taken down by our money hungry government looking to knock one item off a tax budget. I haven't said anything in the PP thread because it's in tilted politics. I hate that place. I've been the to PP and I love the idea of it.
I stated before, this is my dream world, this will never happen in the US. I can wish and hope, but it's a false hope.

Yes, 120% of YES. 15 is to old, make it 12. Hell, if it was even biologically possible, I'm down for giving a circumcision and vasectomy at the same time when babies are born. Snip here, snip there. Oh look, no more teenage pregnancy, deadbeat dads and
this fucked up shit where people give birth to kids and don't tell anyone.
