Good idea, IMHO, if it reduces unwanted/unplanned pregs.
(which it may not, I don't know).
Regarding the "wrong signals", IMHO, it would be, in general,
the women who take risks (thinking "Oh, there's always the
morning after pill") who will take risks anyway.
Saw 25 people in morning surgery, including three requests
for a letter supporting their applications to be rehoused
and one request for a letter to support an application
for car parking right next to his spot on the riverbank
for fishing. *Now* I remember why I went to medical school.
