[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might have been you when I was young. That’s before I learned I have a genetic blood clotting disorder and my mom almost died of a blood clot, and the hematologists warned me that I could never use hormonal BC again. One of them, a woman, told me she was angry about how many young women with clots she saw.

These aren’t risk-free. And it is not some conservative conspiracy to say that. [/quote]

I am OP and in my 60s. All my friends were on the pill, no one was having serious enough side effects to stop. 20 years on the pill and it was easy breezy. I only switched in my 40s after I had kids to a hormonal IUD, which is even better.

Yes, some people can't take it. But for my crowd growing up, it was much better than getting pregnant.

In fact, the 5 people in my circle who got pregnant did so went they switched to other methods or didn't know about the effects of antibiotics on the pill. They all had abortions.

I see all the time women of the DCUM badmouthing hormonal birth control.
For the majority women it is fantastic.

Lots if sex, no pregnancy worries. Women like my mother would have given anything for this control over their lives.
