We should be educating teen boys to use bc more than we do now. Using bc should be as important to a young man as it is to the woman. To rely on no one other than themselves. Unfortunately we don’t stress the importance of men using. I wish it was common place for young sexually active men and women.
In my case it was until she said trust me, we don't need a condom. But I agree, the trust factor out the window.
The NIH can have their broad definition of reproductive health, but that's not how the media or anyone I know is using the phrase. Every single day I read news stories and see television news clips talking about reproductive health rights being banned. Do you think this means men need to worry that testicular cancer treatment will be banned? Pituitary gland problems cannot be treated? Of course not.
Every. Single. Time. that I hear anything about reproductive health on the news, it is referring to abortion only. Nothing else.
If a bulemic wanted someone to help her more effectively purge after eating, would we call such treatment "digestive health?" Purging means causing the stomach to empty its contents, so if it involves the stomach, it has to be a form of "digestive health," right??Just like causing the uterus to empty its contents must be considered "reproductive health?" Nooooo.
Prochoice here, but I'll never call abortion "reproductive health." Maybe "anti-reproduction treatment."
Bulimia is a mental health disorder not a digestive health condition. We can classify it as mental health because it affects your mental health. Abortion and the decision to have one or not very much affects your reproductive health and is very much a reproductive health issue.
Only 1% of pregnancies end up with possible life threatening health conditions. 1%. The argument that abortion has anything to do with women’s reproductive health is a fallacy. Besides, if a woman wants to terminate her pregnancy she has options even in most of the most conservative states. It’s not even worth talking about. The OP is correct.
That's physical health problems. What about the psychiatric & sociologic pathology of bearing an unwanted child?...Plenty of research papers to show that bearing an unwanted child has deep psych complications for both mother & child, while the psych problems after an abortion are negligible--contrary to the fantasies & propaganda of the Anti-choice advocates.

They lost me when they started bragging about having abortions and showing up to protests with huge pregnant bellies with things like “not a human” written on them.
Did you actually see that? Where? Was it more than one person?
You call it monstrous behavior, yet every state in this country has allowed it in some form since the 1970s. Now all of a sudden it's monstrous behavior?
Since when has killing another human on demand just for the sake of convenience not been monstrous behavior?
Yes it does- it’s a part of it. Check out the CDC it’s explained in layman’s terms.
The CDC categorized abortion under the heading of reproductive health but did not define it as reproductive health.
