Why stopped at 35? They know pregnancy can occur in the forties too don’t they?
Happy out about that one, remember having to pay €65 for my depo a few years ago, glad this scheme is introduced.
Reminder, the only reason they’re not rolling this out for all women at once is for election purposes
While this is a good idea- not making condoms free at the same time is a huge mistake. STIs are increasing and this reinforces the message that contraception is a woman’s responsibility, (I’m not against the scheme – it’s needed) They are not making available the probably medically safest option (apart from perhaps the diaphragm?) Unless I am mistaken and condoms are available? Seems ludicrous to me…
Cool and all, but where’s a man’s contraceptive? Like seriously, how do we not have a pill for men? Surely it’s better to unload the gun instead of trying to catch the bullets? 🤷♂️
I am *once again* too old for this bloody scheme by less than two months 😭
Aside from that self-interested gripe, excellent news all round.
