I agree with pretty much everything you say, while admitting there is a potential for abusive denial.
Personally never broke a bone until over 30. Can long term Depo be blamed for that change? Dunno. Surgically fixed now so hormonal funkiness is all ‘natural’
Abusive denial like parents not giving permission? Yeah. Unfortunately with all the push around 'parents rights' I can't see kids being automatically allowed to do this without parental permission. I think there may be permissions for minors to seek existing reproductive care without parents being notified but I'd have to double check.
It could also be abusive by being forced on disabled or young people by guardians/the government but that's already been happening for a long time with other methods.
