But is it right to have up to 30 percent of female crew members become pregnant and have to be pulled off of the boat?

I can't recall the name of the ship but there was on last fall that had that happen.

This causes havoc on the ship. The rest of the crew doesn't need that.

So EITHER, the women ought not to be there AT all, or they need to be with all female crew, OR there needs to be some other solution in order to prevent the pregnancy.


I have offered my suggestions.

So EITHER, the women ought not to be there AT all, or they need to be with all female crew,

Both realistic ideas.

OR there needs to be some other solution in order to prevent the pregnancy.

If so it should be voluntary. Forced drugging is totalitarian. If military service is voluntary and the rules are known at enlistment that's one thing. Even so, I believe soldiers who refuse vaccines are either placed elsewhere or discharged. I don't know of any who are held down and injected against their wills. This is especially important if a draft becomes involuntary. You cannot forcibly drug another human being except in extremely limited circumstances.
