“It is crazy that the government is offering a controversial form of birth control that can have serious life-long side effects to 10-year-old CHILDREN, but then to do all of this behind a parent’s back is simply outrageous!”
Of course, Palin has no idea what she’s talking about. Research shows IUDs are just as safe for teenagers to use as they are for adults, and studies haven’t found any impact on long-term fertility. The reason the devices are being emphasized by medical professionals is because they have a lower failure rate than other forms of birth control. For instance, IUDs have a failure rate of one percent, while oral birth control and condoms have a failure rate of 9 and 18 percent respectively.
Parental consent serves as a detterent for teens seeking birth control, which is why more than half the states in the country don’t require it. When one considers that the U.S. spends $11 billion a year on unintended pregnancies, it’s easy to understand how important it is to equip young people with the tools necessary to protect their futures.
Washington State’s birth control program has been extremely successful, with the teen birthrate
