  Abstracting “meth users” to “drug users” is hell of a leap.

  I disagree with the eugenics involved here. but the real solution is free healthcare with accessible birth control.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but the idea of eugenics is that someone controls who can re-produce. Using drugs is a personal choice, and there are already drugs that screws up your re-production system.

      it is eugenicsy if people in power arbitrarily decide that all drug (only those that poor people use) users shouldn’t breed.

      I do think that people in objectively shitty conditions should wait to get better before having children. but straight up sneaking birth control in their drugs? that’s eugenics,.give poor people access to free healthcare? that’s better.

        Put birth control in uncut Colombian coke, too.

        But the post does not say “sneakily”. In fact, this could be a great anti-drug campaign, choose between having kids or drugs. Post also said meth, which makes me imply hard drugs only, not weed

  Absolutely is. Im guessing only temporarily though. Pretty sure you can just stop taking your birth control pills and start ovulating properly again.

  Seems like a pretty good idea as long as it doesn’t get slippery sloped. No babies while mething about.

  Because meth heads make such responsible parents and are usually in a great position to have children

    “no no you see, in this case, eugenics is justified!”

    i don’t care. it’s still wrong.

      Eugenics would be doing this because you believe drug users have “inferior” genetics which shouldn’t be allowed to propagate through the population, but this clearly isn’t how the joke is meant. You get to have children once you’re off the meth, thank you.
