The SECOND best news is no liberals born for 10 years!! :)
Second, this turn toward long-lasting hormonal-type contraceptives, especially in the young, will cause an upsurge in promiscuity and then STD's, since none of the "long-lasting" contraceptives do a thing to protect from serious infection.
Third: sexual promiscuuity also has a hugely disruptive effect on normal marriage and family-formation. In plain language it tends to kill it dead. Once again, this IUD "solution" is part of the problem.
Fourth: since synthetic hormones are excreted and not readily broken down in water/sanitary systems, hormonal contraceptives end up putting endocrine-disruptors in the water. Ever wonder why so many of today's kids are so "gender-confused"? Endocrine disruptors cause male fish and other male aquatic vertebrates to develop egg proteins in their testicles.
Any male FReepers out there want egg proteins in their testicles? How about your sons' testicles?
I rest my case. (For the time being.)
