Brazil Cut Teen Pregnancy With Free Birth Control. Conservatives Aren’t Happy.

A 13-year-old girl in Fortaleza, Brazil, recently gave birth and received a birth control implant. The girl, known as Yara, underwent a cesarean section and was recovering in a hospital bed. As part of her recovery, Yara received an Implanon implant, a long-acting reversible contraceptive. This is part of a larger trend in Brazil, where many young girls give birth each year. Further details about Yara's story and the broader context of teen pregnancy in Brazil are available from the source, Rewire News Group.
