I was going to write about how we learned in high school health class about how IUDs are unsafe for women (along with having to memorize exactly which STD caused green vaginal secretions vs yellow), but then I wikipedia-ed it instead and found that apparently there was one specific brand, Dalkon Shield and modern IUDs appear much safer. Wow, the things you learn... However, I still don't like the thought of one personally, including the side effects.
Man, I wish we could just mandate a comprehensive sex ed program for everyone. :-P Require everyone to put a condom on a dummy, or some other sexual-orientation-appropriate prophylactic, much like we had to whack the CPR dummies on the floor while yelling "are you all right are you ok help call EMS" and someone else watched to see if the computer registered the whacking, all in order to get a CPR license that expired a year later.
