As much as this is coming from a good place with good intentions, some things are human rights[1] that parents shouldn’t be able to withhold. [1] https://thewe

  That doesn't contradict what the parent is saying. Having access to non-hormonal options still fulfills the UN stance.

  This being a "human right" seems like a matter of opinion.

  Your article talks about an annual report, then links another article written 3 years before the one you link, said article doesn't link to the report. So I search for the report itself: https://www.unfpa.org/sites/default/files/pub-pdf/AR%202012%20EN-Final.pdf https://www.unfpa.org/sites/default/files/pub-pdf/AR%202012%... And the claim is nowhere near the one you are making. What the UNFPA (who can't even declare anything a human right, by the way) is saying is: >Family planning is anchored in respect for human rights, women’s empowerment, and social justice and quality. And >In October, UNFPA published its annual The State of World Population report, which made the case that family planning is a basic human right that unlocks unprecedented rewards for women in terms of health, economic power and gender equality. Putting medical barriers to access the pill is by no means whatsoever a violation of human rights.
