I'm writing an essay for my ethics class on an essay be Margaret Battin entitled Sex & Consequences, in which she argues for compulsive contraceptives, such as the IUD and Norplant, for every women in the world to prevent more population growth. She likens it to vaccination and how we forced vaccination for the public good, so we should force this for the public good. The idea behind it is that during high school, you must have one to be admitted similar to vaccinations, and when you are ready to become pregnant, you go to the doctor to get the device removed, so it prevents unwanted pregnancy completely.
My essay is an argument against this because of the clear violation of rights, but I wanted to take an informal poll to know how women would feel about this so I can get an idea of the cultural implications this would have. Please state what country you are from as well to give me a better idea. Post in support of or against her idea. Thank you.
