We could learn from this in the US, but we won’t.
You’re assuming the goal of the anti-abortion laws is to reduce the number of abortions. The actual goal is to increase birth rates to increase demand for jobs, goods, and services.
Good guy Finland. We should all be more like Finland.
We have this in France too for people under 26. Works wonders
We have this in Norway as well. Not sure about statistics, but I haven’t paid for contraceptions. My wife gets pills covered by the state if we use those, and I get free condoms if we want to use those. There are other options that are covered as well.
At school and other places young people attend you can just go pickup a handful of condoms for free whenever you’d like. There is also a website in which you just order them delivered to your mailbox in a non descriptive white envelope. I have used that service for over 15 years now.
The URL for Norwegians: (gratis = free, kondomer = condoms) gratiskondomer.no
That is insanely good. In Germany something like this would probably never happen bc some asshole would be like “hurr durr what if a millionaire used the service, my taxpayer euro would be wasted on somebody who doesn’t desperately need it hurr durr we cannot let that happen I would rather not give to a 100 who need it before this unholy injustice happens that would be giving to a single person who doesn’t.”
That’s a key component of the thought that stymies progress in the US.
Good, make this the default in Europe.
With the drift to the right, not going to happen. They promised their corporate sponsors free, somewhat uneducated labour which sorta requires unwanted pregnancies.
