[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think the BC pill is really important and will definitely fight for it to be widely available.

But don't be weird and make it so no one can say negative things about the pill. I tried it for 6 years and it was hell for me. Major side effects, it did in fact harm my libido, it made my skin worse, I had mood issues on it. Never found a formulation that works for me and honestly I think hormonal birth control just doesn't work for me -- DH and I used condoms and now he's getting a vasectomy. It's been a better solution for us.

I think it's important for people like me to be able to share my experience because it ensure that alternatives to the pill are available. IUDs because popular specifically because the pill doesn't work for everyone. Not only does not everyone respond well to it, but a lot of young women are really bad at remembering to refill their prescription and take it, which obviously makes it less effective.

There's a difference between criticizing the pill as the universal form of birth control (thank goodness it's not) and trying to reduce access to it because you are an anti-choice, anti-woman ghoul. Please make sure you aren't lumping everyone in together.[/quote]
