But if you're living in a rural community or one that has a strong stigma against contraception, or you're just in a place where the disease is rampant and you need a secondary precautionary policy, this will have a meaningful impact on disease spread. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) The majority of US citizens do not fall into those categories, and for that reason I see it as an unnecessary procedure that is more cultural than scientific. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago The majority of US citizens do not fall into those categories They did once, and they very well might in the near future, depending on how we handle legal contraception going forward. permalink fedilink source parent
