Over here in the states we’re trying to make it harder to access these thing. Makes sense I guess if you have your head screwed on backwards.
Well the Gop need their army of child labor/sex slave that’s also why they fight education as much as they can got to keep them dumb
I’ve wondered whether that is sincerely the idea. Not sex slaves but simply outbreeding democrats and instilling culture war rhetoric. Handmaid’s tale eventually made manifest.
It’s also about soldiers and cogs to feed the capitalism machine.
That’s also the premise of Idiocracy.
Need to keep the idiot stock high to ensure the future for America.
It’s denying at least 30 years of information and proof of how things work. That’s a country truly going backwards. It’s scary the influence that brings to others in world.
Religion is a powerful bitch.
Colorado put a program similar into effect that was cut from the budget. The data showed first a drop in teen pregnancies and higher secondary graduation. Then when the program was cut, abortions were increased and high-school graduation dropped. It’s almost like you can stop it one way or the other, and one seems more preferrable. What if every sperm was not as sacred as they want us to believe? not sure, but /s just in case…
It was actually costing less to have that program then the cost associated with increased Medicaid usage from low income teen mothers.
That is even before you consider the costs associated with the loss of lifetime earnings from the teens loss of education.
But if we give them reproductive healthcare, how are we going to punish women for having sex? Checkmate libruls!
BDSM?
But but but teenagers may have sex! We can’t have that! /s
The number of abortions among women under 20 rose during the 1990s in Finland, which led the Nordic country to respond at the start of the 2000s by making morning-after pills available without prescription from 15 years of age and sexual education compulsory in all schools.
Finland also passed a law in 2022 liberalising abortion, at a time of deep divisions over abortion rights in Europe and court rulings in the U.S. that restricted access to terminations of unwanted pregnancies for millions of people there.
…
The number of abortions fell 66% to 722 in 2023 from 2,144 in 2000 among all teenagers aged 19 or younger in Finland, while the drop was even steeper at 78% among those under 18 in the same period, THL’s statistics showed.
I’m sure the GQP will read this and think, “We should just outlaw abortion and fix it that way.”
Reducing Abortions is SOCIALISM! Unless we KILL the Mothers first then it’s FREEDOM!

What? You could abort teenagers in Finland? Wtf?! /j
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_fertility_rate
Finland is at 1.4 total fertility rate. Replacement rate is about 2.3.
Are you trying to say that unwanted teen pregnancies are the answer to population decline?
Not at all, but it’s interesting data that is relevant when discussing reproductive matters
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Finland
What are you concluding from the data you are posting?
Why is it relevant?
Nope
It isn’t relevant unless you’re trying to suggest countries should boost fertility rates with unwanted teen pregnancies.
All countries should be slowly reducing their population if we are to have any hope of surviving long-term.
That seems to happen naturally as most countries progress. As infant mortality decreases, and as nutrition and education improves, people seem to have fewer children.
The 722 abortions in 2023 added to the 43383 births wouldn’t change that. I’m sick of all this fearmongering about fertility rates and using it to attack women’s autonomy is absolutely appalling.
Replacement rate is about 2.3.
Why is the replacement rate not 2 exactly?
