The teen population was also greatly affected with the invention of Norplant. Unfortunately black birthrates to teen mothers are more than double compared to whites, further linking the black race to this form of population control.

Norplant indirectly offered an incentive to have more sex, for they were offered protection against pregnancy, but this greatly increased the odds of contracting an STD. |

Norplant Edits:
Normally removal is not complicated, however in the beginning of its facilitation doctors were not trained in removal procedures, which proved to cause further complications later on[7]
Although effective in regards to preventing pregnancy, in countries such as Indonesia, those currently taking Norplant are the only ones to receive their paycheck on time. It has also been reported in Indonesia that women have been threatened at gunpoint in order to accept the removal Norplant, in order to control population growth. [18]
It should also be noted that Norplant had desired targets for population control including African American women, as well as teens. At first the device was marketed specifically to poor women, in which the legislative members offered an incentive of $500, along with an additional $50 dollars supplied to the women each additional year the device remained inserted. Due to the fact that society most often links welfare recipients to the black race, the black population in turn became the target; blacks are also five times more likely to live in poverty, furthering the likelyhood that they would be supplied the device. The teen population was also greatly affected with the invention of Norplant. Unfortunately black birthrates to teen mothers are more than double compared to whites, further linking the black race to this form of population control. Although the intention was to decrease teen birth rates, Norplant does not protect against STDs. Norplant indirectly offered an incentive to have more sex, for they were offered protection against pregnancy, but this greatly increased the odds of contracting an STD.
