Yeah, but this isn’t for medical reasons, it’s for allowing females to serve in the military
Or they would just fly while on their period.But it’s the reality of what would happen
No. Women in the military are not required to take birth control pills.However, being artificial contraception is prohibited in the Catholic Church, does this mean female Catholics can not serve without violating their beliefs ?
Again with the implication that women, especially menstruating women, are weaker, or less than, or disabled. Please stop.the unit is only as strong as the weakest person.
In my experience in the military (2 different branches) the good commanders did both. The individual supported the unit and the unit supported the individual. Neither really works fully without the other.They’re not treated as individuals but as part of a unit
At least that’s the way it was when I served in the USMC
They just had loud arguments constantly and it was awkward for everyone around them.Why? (Not being critical, genuinely curious). I really, really wouldn’t want to be deployed anywhere with my spouse for myself. How do I think clearly if I’m doing something needful and my spouse is doing something dangerous?
That’s not a “regulation.” It’s just an article by some Army nurse. Female soldiers can just ignore it if they choose.But according to the Army regulation presented earlier in this thread, it’s one of the reasons why menstrual suppression is necessary
Yes, I know. That’s not a regulation. It’s a news article. This colonel decided to write an article giving her two cents about contraception and deployment. It’s not an order. Soldiers can freely ignore it.By Col. Michelle Munroe, DNP, CNM, AN, OTSG Women’s Advanced Practice Nursing Consultant
Even for single chaste women?If your doctors proposes birth control to manage menstrual problems, I would suggest a second opinion from a nfp-friendly practioner.
Heavy and painful periods can also have negative effects on the body.Tuffsmurf spelled out details but our point is the same. I think! Hormonal birth control and iuds can have very bad effects on the body.
How many fighter pilots did you know? The vast majority of the ones I served with were among the most individualistic people I ever met.Fighter pilots are part of a squadron and fight as a unit, not individuals
And also not relevant to this discussion. And only when looking at overall averages. I personally knew many women that I would not want to be involved in a lifting contest against, and I am not exactly a weakling.Women have 60% of the upper body strength of a man, that’s a fact of life.
If a female soldier who took such a measure were deployed someplace where she ran the risk of being raped, how would the potentially abortifacient effect in the event of rape and impregnation square morally?
Women don’t plan on being raped but rape happens, especially in war. If suppressing menstruation means that a rape victim can’t get pregnant then that sounds like a very good reason to allow it to any woman in danger of rape.The last part about a female soldier being potentially raped seems risible because nobody plans on those scenarios occurring and it is unlikely to happen.
