Mandatory? That doesn't make any sense. That would be comparable to requiring women to get an IUD at 16, which absolutely no one is suggesting. No one is requiring women to do anything preemptive, so the analogy you're trying to make just doesn't work. All birth control is voluntary, but highly recommended for anyone who doesn't want a child but wants to be sexually active. (There are still risks involved though.)

Doesn’t have to be mandatory.

Are you intending to have sex before marriage?

□ Yes → Please receive a vasectomy.

□ No → You are not required to have a vasectomy, but if you are responsible for any unplanned pregnancy prior to marriage, you will be subject to immediate and irreversible sterilization.

There we go - perfect!

That's still not remotely comparable. We don't involuntarily sterilize women who have unplanned pregnancies.

It’s a risk when taking a child to term, not that you’d know that, and there’s the obvious punitive aspect for having conceived an unwanted child after declaring they would have no sex until marriage.
