I thought Norplant would be a solution . (none / 0) (#11)

It is implanted under the skin and emits progesterone/estrogen contraception for about 5 years. Somehow it lost its market because of some complications which I think were not major. This was to me a great temporary and reasonable approach.  Have the prostitute agree to the implantation and offer her drug recovery or money if she won't agree. Anything but keep her from getting pg.

But we had one prostitute arrested locally with a flaming case of MRSA.  She would have died without immediate medical treatment and she wouldn't have gotten the treatment if she hadn't gotten arrested.[shudder]

We need to really impress on women and girls that contraception should be more than an option.  It should be considered part of their responsibility for their health.  The health risks of pregnancy for women are often ignored.
