14. The Contraception Market Is Very Big And Many, Many Companies Are Involved In It....

The U.S. contraceptive market size was valued at around USD 8.0 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 4.70% in the forecast period.

In 2015–2017, 64.9% of the 72.2 million women aged 15–49 in the United States were currently using contraception. The most common contraceptive methods currently used were female sterilization (18.6%), oral contraceptive pill (12.6%), long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) (10.3%), and male condom (8.7%).

In the United States, close to $3 billion in prescription birth-control pills are sold each year, according to the life-sciences research firm Iqvia. They are manufactured by a variety of drug companies, including Pfizer Inc. and Bayer AG.

The birth control pill is a safe, simple, and convenient way to prevent pregnancy. It also has other benefits like reducing acne, making your periods lighter and more regular, and easing menstrual cramps. So beyond birth control - it is a women's health issue as well.

Major players in the oral contraceptive pills market are Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. , Bayer AG, Syzygy Healthcare, Mankind Pharma Ltd. , Pfizer Inc. , Piramal Enterprises Ltd. , Ferring B. V, Merck & Co. Inc., Johnson & Johnson and Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Why aren't these companies lobbying Congress to make sure that Congress doesn't outlaw birth control?

I just don't understand the Repugs stand on this issue. How do they propose that making birth control illegal be policed?

Are we just talking birth control pills or are we talking about all forms of contraception?

Where is this all going?

When are the Repugs going to reinstate 'prohibition'? (sarcasm)
