Birth Control Pills should be sold over the counter

fixed it for ya.

UB, currently women need prescriptions for the pill. If they didn't (if it became OTC, say) would their health risk go up? If so, by how much? Would ordinary medical care not catch the risk factors?
I'm asking a "relative benefit" question. Where is it greater: with necessary prescriptions (which has been argued to be a sop to practitioners, a captive market so to speak, and allowing the manufs to charge inflated prescription prices to hundreds of millions) or otc with a health risk increase whose magnitude I don't know? cn
 
That's gonna really cut into BC manufacturers profits. I assume it costs them something to make.

insurance covers the cost.

the health risks are actually fairly minimal, but they exist and although minimal they can be quite dangerous.
 
Would that not be the classic argumentum ad hominem? "It came from Republicans!" But what if it's a good idea, regardless? cn

Some republicans tout the idea because it removes an arrow from the Democratic quiver. The "war on women" gets taken down a notch. The proposal comes from a group of medical doctors specializing in women's health issues. They make a good case that birth control pills ought to be OTC.

Birth control pills are certainly safer than aspirin and acetaminophen.
 
it all seems kinda IDK dudes have to go and take a plastic see threw box to the counter to have them unlocked to get a pack of rubbers yet a chick has to go to a doctor to get the pill. it doesnt make sense they are forms of birth control. and why is it guys are the only ones bitched at to use birth control. this isnt fair by far. women need to start using birth control for sex just as much as guys. i swear the first women to protest is going to get it.

Condoms are so much more than birth control. They're funny bump control as well. Even if all the women took birth control, I wouldn't want to be caught without my concealed protection. (Assuming, of course, I stood a chance of needing it.) cn

to the person before
the shut the fuck up cat wasnt really meant for you to shut the fuck up. i just could resist
 
The cat made me giggle. But "If I have to, you do too" is not an adult interpretation of fair; it's unadorned spite. Jmo. cn
