- I don't consider Birth Control Pills only Birth Control Pills, they are prescribed to correct certain imbalances in the body. So I consider them as hormone pills rather than just purely birth control.
Given the 2nd point, it was my reason that I have always contended that any bill that the Republicans push through that in any way limits access to those pills is absolutely missing the point. They are not just Birth Control Pills, they are Hormone Drugs that happen to control fertility. Not every single pill works for each person, and each one comes with different side effects for different people.
So my position I guess would be:
I am for it, in principle, but I must say that they should be careful what they wish for, since if they get this through it may have unintended consequences that they would not want.
