I'm glad someone feels the same way I do and recognizes all the benefits of using birth control. And exactly, why should tax payers pay for someone else's unplanned child because the mother thought birth control was bad for her? I bet they don't even realise that the small doses of hormones in birth control (even what's considered high dose birth control) is but a mere FRACTION of the amount of hormones you're exposed to during pregnancy. The fact that the hormones in BC are manufactured is irrelevant, because hormones, manufactured or naturally occuring, have the same effects on the body. Its the amount that matters, not how they're administered. I can understand young girls being hesitant about starting birth control but I think its only us women who experience hideous menstrual cycles who will truly appreciate hormonal BC for all its non contraceptive benefits.
People who reject modern medicine infuriate me?
