A very important problem among the uneducated, lower class citizens of the world: is the very high birth rate of unplanned pregnancies, as well as teen pregnancies. And abortion is either frowned upon, forbidden, or economically inaccessible. And let's not forget the health risk caused by the procedure. It is in my opinion that it is best to prevent pregnancy rather than terminate it. The best solution for this is contraception. But so far the latex version has not yielded very positive results. The other solution is hormonal contraception, more commonly called birth control. My suggestion is to offer free birth control implants, that work for 5 years not stop. In certain contexts such as developing countries, especially in remote areas, the oral version becomes too complicated, as several visits to the doctor are necessary, and storage of the contraception can cause difficulties, due to high temperatures and inadequate infrastructures. Also with the implant, the doctor dispensing the medicine can feel reassured that the patient will with certainty not get pregnant, that his efforts will not be in vain. Therefor, it would greatly simplify matters if the implant version was used. In the case of AIDS patients it should almost be an obligation. As you may know, one of the problems relating to AIDS patients, is that in the event of being parents, the children often end up being orphans...
In the context of developed countries, I would only suggest to dispense the implant freely to citizens on welfare and to teenagers: from 13 to 18, from an anonymoushealth care center or abortion clinic or any organisation specialized in youth issues.
Although the implant should solve unwanted pregnancies... In the event of one happening anyway... I also, think that abortions should be Free.
To me it is clear that dispensing free birth control will both help solve overpopulation, as well as teen pregnancies. And on the very long term, maybe even world hunger!!!
If I had the means to implement this I would more than gladly do so... Hopefully even set up my own non-profit organisation...
As a side note, there are other benefits to hormonal contraceptive... Prominently the ability to plan your periods, according to your schedule. So that, for example, you will avoid the annoyance of getting your period during exam periods, or holidays... In the case of holidays, especially in the case of an "aquatic" holiday, having your period can be very annoying, and cause some rather embarrassing complications... And hormonal contraceptives can solve this problem for you, both in it's traditional form or as an implant... As an implant, my idea, is that you would only need to take a few extra pills (what I would call extension pills) during the scheduled time for your period, a basically skip one period, or in other words extend it for extra month. Skipping more than one period would not be recommended. Additionally, in cases where the user of hormonal contraception is a teenager, using the implant version is obviously a better way to conceal it's use, then the pill version.
