Self-sustained farming is hardly an alternative for the population as a whole. Imagine the consequences that would have on a city like New York. Or Los Angeles.

The problem is that the government is effectively forcing us to accept these health risks as there is no realistic way for all of us to avoid those, but at the same time makes the decision
for all of uson the pill, on the basis of allegedly the same health risks, that it should not be readily available.
The two do not add up. It would make more sense to apply a warning label on the pill such as: "Use of this product may have negative consequences for one's health and should not be done lightly." Or something along those lines. If that would be unacceptable for the government, one should simply point to its policies on all kinds of foodstuffs shampoos and all that.
In fact, the food we eat and the products we use have often been implicated in research on the dropping quality of sperm in the past decades.
Just because we have a government, that does not rule out personal responsibility of the citizens of the nation. Including matters like the food we consume the hygiene products we use, or the method of birth control / abortion.
