Okkay, I think we all know what contraception is.
In case you don't, contracpetion is something that prevents conception from having.
Or to prevent STI's/STD's from spreading.
- Should contraception be allowed, or should every act of sex be open to having children?
- Are permanent contraceptions (eg. vasectomy) right or wrong? Why?
- Should they be given for free at GUM clinics and doctors?
- Are there any contraceptions you don't agree with?
- Are they needed in a modern stay society?
And anything else you wish to raise.

Yes, SFXtra, that's exactly what she means.
I, myself, have no problem with it. I think that if you want to have sex whilst not wanting to have children for whatever reason (finiacial etc.), I don't believe it matters. Sex is something for pleasure and, should be, to show love. As long as those elements are there, contraception should be irrelevant.
Where vacsectomys and histerectomys are concerned, I think it depends on the terms. If you've had children already, spoken to a partner about it and both decided it's for the best, then do it. However, if it's on a wim decision, I think you should think seriously about what you're giving up and consider the fact that reversing the operation costs huge amounts of money.
In my eyes, contraception being given for free is a brilliant idea. If people are going to have sex, they'll do it whether or not they have something with them so, to make it easier and keep unwanted pregnancies down, free contraception is the way to go. Also, it will, hopefully, cut down on the number of people with STI's and STD's.

I agree with the above. I see nothing wrong with contraception. It's not like an abortion; that argument is irrelevent since no one is being intentionally hurt. If you don't want to have a child then no one should stop you. Pregnancy isn't the point of sex anyway.
The only downside to contraceptive meds being given for free is that it might encourage people who normally wouldn't have had sex (eg, young girls and boys) to try it.
As for the operations, I myself would never have one. You might change your mind later and it's just smarter to continually use contraception. |

Posts: 1662 | January 25th, 2008 at 09:40am I Thing It Should Be Allowed because obviously not everybody wants childern
But still wants sex.
Opertions like a vasectomy are right if you want but you might regret it
(you donate sperm to sperm bank, before hand)
I Another Huge thing for me is, at my age in middle school, they teach sex ed.
because childern need to know, if they choose to have sex.
But at my middle school and at my local high school, they do not teach
safe sex, if childern need to know about sex, and if they choose to have sex you could end up with a pregnent 13 year old. |

Posts: 303 | January 25th, 2008 at 07:05pm Contraception as birth control is an ethical argument, that I agree with. It's not really a choice as to what scientific and technological advancements come along, it's all or nothing, if someone was to argue that wrong to make the choice over a living thing's life by preventing coneception, I would argue that any sort of medicine does the same.
But realistically, there is no argument about it. Aids is on the rise, as are other std's in the UK, as well as africa. Aids is uncurable, simple as, there is no other choice but total outright prevention. Education is a part of prevention, but contraceptives are an even bigger part, it is just not possible to stop the spread of aids without more condoms.
Free condoms? Yes. Especially in Africa. Part of the reason in the rise of aids again, is that Bush cut the US's spending on free condoms in Africa, as aid. The US far surpassed every other country in that respect, before Bush cut the funding, and to remove that benefit is just diabolical. |

Posts: 2601 | January 30th, 2008 at 04:16am I support contracepttion 100%. I think ppl should be responsible for a child if they really want one. if they don't then they should absolutely take the necessary precautions. Of course there r those who say abstinence is the best prevention, and I won't argue with them; but neither can u tell someone who doesn't *ever* want children to not have sex for their whole lives, can ya
modern contraception empowers people by giving them a choice. U can experience a natural pleasure while being responsible at the same time. |

Posts: 2818 | April 7th, 2008 at 11:52am contraception is a religious debate. catholics belive children as a blessing from god, but there are some people who cannot stop rooting for one second to realise they have 17 children (look up the Duggar family)
condoms should be free. not from my personal experiances, buying condoms are herrendouslt embarrasing, especially if you are or look underage. the opill is one of the greatest things ever, not only do they prevent pregnancy, they give relief from crippling period cramps and maintain hormone level so no outburts or episiodes. |

Posts: 3503 | April 8th, 2008 at 03:09am ^ i believe children are a blessing from god  and im anglican, and im for contraception! 
and yes. i agree, not from personal experience, but condoms would be very embarrassing to buy.
- Should contraception be allowed, or should every act of sex be open to having children?
im for contraception. i think its ok, as long as you are careful with it. i mean, condoms could break etc. so yer, just being careful.
- Are permanent contraceptions (eg. vasectomy) right or wrong? Why?
depends. if you've had children, and are fairly old, then its ok. i think you should talk it over with your partner and be very very sure before getting something like that done. its just for the best.
- Should they be given for free at GUM clinics and doctors?
yer, that would be a good idea. people say giving out free condoms promotes sex. but so does so many other things. at least giving out condoms promotes safe sex!
- Are there any contraceptions you don't agree with?
nope. not really. i dont like the idea of a female condom. i think it would just be awkward to put on (especially in the 'heat of the moment' lol) and just frustrating really. also, embarrassing to get fitted and to buy and all that jazz.
- Are they needed in a modern stay society?
for sure. definately needed in modern society! |

Posts: 39 | April 8th, 2008 at 09:31am stac-renee, I totally agree with you, but the pill just has one down fall... It does not protect you from STI's/STD's. But I htink the easiset way round this if you are only planning on using the pill, is that you and your partner both have tests before you have sex, if you are all lear then there is a high chance that nothing will go wrong.
Young and teenage pregnancy isn't wrong, butit can be easily prevented in most cases.
