The pill doesn't work for every woman.
Injectables don't work for every woman.
IUD's don't work for every woman.
Patches don't work for every woman.

ALL methods come with risks & negative side effects & finding the "right one" can be a costly trial & error process.
Science STILL has not figured out a SINGULAR method of birth control that is:
1)100% safe
2) 100% reliable
3) has little or NO side effects
5) accessible to ALL

Please stop saying "There are options" whenever a child abandonment story arises.

It is much MUCH more complex.
Do we have health centres in Jamaica that offer condoms, pills, injections & IUD's for "free"/ little to nothing? Yes.

Do we have women in relationships with men who not only refuse to wear condoms but also tell the woman not to take birth control? Yes.
Are abortions illegal in Jamaica? Yes.

Are there healthcare workers who scorn unmarried women for asking for condoms & birth control? Yes.

When you guys are ready to STEP back & look at the various obstacles that could lead someone to abandon their child, call me.

Otherwise 🤫
And to all the people who LOVE to bring up all the "free birth control options" argument but have NEVER tried the free birth control options, beg yuh check your nearest clinic & try the free condoms.

Just try them.
