Birth control is one of the worst inventions of the modern era.
encourages crazy levels of promiscuity that contribute to high std rates
destroys the endocrine systems of women and men
contaminates our water cycle
Change my mind.

Replying to @Dr_TJRicks
- STI rates are largely unrelated to most forms of contraception, aside from condoms which prevent them - Total gibberish, many contraceptive options do not impact endocrine systems at all - True of all modern medicine, applying it to contraceptives is disingenous

Replying to @GidMK
The third point is particularly egregious. Arguing that contraceptives "pollute our water system" when antibiotics are a VASTLY bigger issue is just dishonest

As for the claim that birth control causes STIs, this graph of syphilis provides some evidence to the contrary In general, contraceptive use is not associated with higher rates of STIs (i.e. https://journals.lww.com/stdjournal/Fulltext/2004/09000/Relationship_of_Hormonal_Contraception_and.9.aspx …)pic.twitter.com/399oaWWJqo
