2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Seems to be referring to the whole section
Page 451 (tbh more about voluntary adoption and possibly sperm donation than contraceptives but not that much of a stretch considering the mention of reproductive technologies.)
Page 476 (They really want to promote abstinence and fertility awareness as the end-all be-all methods of contraceptive.)
Page 477 (again more about sex ed than contraceptives but how are adults supposed to know about them if they cant be legally taught at school age, for fear of "promoting sexuality" despite abstinence-based (so-called """risk avoidance""") programs not actually reducing sexuality in young people.)
Pages 483/484 (actually, everything 483 - 485 really, its just a lot to paste here so im pulling out the worst ones. Left out the calls for promotion of fertility awareness, because totally in isolation of the rest of this stuff and with proper warning of its limitations I have less a problem with that than with losing access to more reliable contraceptives.)
Page 490 (they really talk around it here but the mention of STDs, unwanted pregnancies, and again "risk-avoidance" makes this pretty loaded. Hormonal contraceptives could also be considered gender-affirming care, as it alters a person's natural hormonal state.)
