    Probably should edit your comment from “secretly sterilized” to “allegedly secretly provided contraceptives”.

    Being sterilized and being given contraceptives are wildly different things.

          Yeah, I’m confused. Depo-Provera is a contraceptive that needs to be administered every 3 months to prevent pregnancy. And it doesn’t end a pregnancy, it’s been deemed safe for pregnant women and women who (unlikely but possibly) become pregnant after an injection.

          It also may help prevent some cancers of the reproductive tract.

          Skeptical of the guardians article or the message that people are taking from it.
