If they did oral daily they wouldn't need the pill

And make it optional?

No pleasing this board. Bitch and whine about people having too many babies but now there is something available that will result in less unwanted pregnancies and yet more complaining.

The bitching is that they had to put it in there that it's difficult for a certain group of people to get the medication.

Wouldn't you get aggravated if you were in the group of people that's constantly being told you can't do anything like everyone else?

I’m not complaining about the birth control. PLEASE give that to them. I’m complaining about the ridiculous excuses for not already having it.

I'd prefer we save that for sex offenders. No money either and not optional.

Does anyone not think it's a little weird there will be no age restriction on it?

That just seems a little off, IMO.

I believe they removed the age requirement for buying Plan B as well. Same concept .

A lot of teenagers take birth control to help regulate menstrual cycles and lessen symptoms.

Also a lot of trashy 14 year olds have babies in this world

Yeah. Issues are

No age restriction

And no medical supervision while taking a hormone that may affect the body

I have no problem with this. There are a lot of people I want to have as few babies as possible

ephedrine, the kind of Sudafed that actually works that is behind the counter and requires an ID scan, and has a monthly limit on purchases.

I bet I can buy contacts without a prescription too, right? Right?

Didn't know that.

I guess it makes sense considering the ages that some get pregnant at, just thought it was a little odd.

I’m anti-abortion but not a Bible thumping idiot so I fully support this.

But will these hoes even be responsible enough to take it or will they just wait until they get knocked up to bother doing anything different with their daily life?

That's kind of why I was curious about the age limit. Seems like a dangerous thing to just let people walk up and buy OTC.

Teens and girls, women of color and those with low incomes report greater hurdles in getting prescriptions and picking them up.


Sigh…

Taxpayer funded free birth control and condoms also are readily available at any local health department . It just takes a little effort to make an appointment for the exam.

This notion that birth control is so expensive and unobtainable is hog shite

Even the big drugstores will FedEx the meds to your house so it’s just excuses on top of excuses


They just suck as a group. Plain and simple. They need somebody to hold their hand through life because they are dumb, lazy, and incompetent.

Yeah it does. And I would occasionally see a teenager buy it. But it’s not always just kids being irresponsible kids, there are sexual assaults and other horrible things out there that happen.
So I never really gave it much thought once you realize the bigger picture and the evil that is lurking

They don’t seem too aggravated by it considering the voting numbers

Honestly surprised democrats aren’t fighting this more. Seems like it’ll hit their base pretty hard in a few decades.

OCPs have worse side effects than the covid vaxx yet we are letting 15 year olds buy it over the counter

Thanks feminists
