And exactly what do you think the U.S. government will inject female soldiers in the U.S. Military who can now serve in combat on the front lines? Depo-Provera! But that's okay, right Libs?
Exactly --- but also they've got Planned Parenthood in all the schools getting 12 and 13 year old girls injected with birth control shots.
Liberals are suddenly against birth control when it comes to another government pushing it? Strange.

1) Link to something factual that this is the military's plan?
2) To be done without female soldiers' knowledge/approval?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction while taking medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Depo-Provera) hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;
sudden headache, confusion, problems with vision, speech, or balance;
chest pain, sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, fast heart rate;
pain or swelling in one or both legs;
chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling;
vaginal bleeding if you have already gone through menopause;
feeling like you might pass out;
a breast lump;
symptoms of depression (sleep problems, dizziness, mood changes, headache);
fever;
jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); or
swelling in your hands, ankles, or feet.
Less serious side effects of medroxyprogesterone may include:
spotting or breakthrough bleeding;
changes in your menstrual periods;
vaginal itching or discharge;
breast tenderness or discharge;
mild itching or skin rash;
increased acne, hair growth, loss of scalp hair;
sleep problems (insomnia);
changes in appetite or weight,
mild stomach pain, bloating, nausea; or
skin color changes.

I don't have to link to something factual that that is their plan. Common sense tells anyone with a brain that the military will not allow menstruating females on the front lines. Most likely, it will be a "condition" of being able to qualify for those combat positions, (positions that they whined about not getting which led to better advancement up the ranks). So of course, any woman who wants to be in combat will be okay with taking Depo-Provera.
Having your period sucks. Why wouldn't they take it? Oh, see above.

And you allege the military will find all that preferable to allowing a woman to have her normal cycle?
I agree that the women should understand that the injections are intended to prevent pregnancy and allowed to make the decision whether or not to take them, but "flu" has nothing to do with it.
Looks like the OP embellished the title of this thread.
Depo-Provec prevents pregnancy for 3 months. The controversy seems to be that 36 Ethiopian woman were not made aware that the shots prevented pregnancy.
Given numerous posts on this forum, one would think many favor forced birth control of people who cannot support a child.
And you allege the military will find all that preferable to allowing a woman to have her normal cycle?
Yes, I do, as will the women who want to put themselves on the front lines. Somehow I can't see a woman, out on a mission to kill Bin Laden or similar slime, having to stop and change tampons while under enemy fire.
