I think everyone thought these infertility pills – “birth control,” they call it – were already OTC.
Definitely, all women have access to them through doctors that the government pays for.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved the first over-the-counter contraceptive pill, paving the way for millions of women in the country to purchase birth control without prescription.
The daily contraceptive Opill, sold by Perrigo (PRGO.N), was first approved for prescription use in 1973, and the over-the-counter approval allows people to obtain it without first seeing a healthcare provider.
Perrigo will share its pricing plan for the pill next week. It will be available in stores and online in the first quarter of next year.
“Today marks an important step in the drive toward meaningful access to essential healthcare for Americans,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement.
Essential healthcare
The approval is expected to cut barriers of access to contraceptives such as the cost and time of seeing a healthcare provider, advocacy groups have said.
Opill, also known as a “minipill”, does not contain the hormone estrogen unlike other contraceptive drugs and uses progestin, a form of the progesterone hormone which plays a role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
…
The most common side effects of the pill include irregular bleeding, headaches, dizziness, and the FDA advises it should not be taken by those who have or have had breast cancer. It should also not be taken with other hormonal birth controls.
Is there anyone who is not sick of women yet?
These bitches just never stop.
As a man, I am fully ready to produce children with any bitch I am willing to stick my dick in. Full stop.
Except it’s not full stop, because the US government interferes with the details of human relationships to the point where you can’t just say “yeah bitch, I got you – no problem, just hit me up if that little shit needs some food or something. Peace out, cunt.”
Instead, Creepy Uncle Sam comes breathing down your neck.
Who thinks this is “freedom”?
You have freedom in China or Russia, where sexual relations are between the man and woman who do the deed, and the government has no direct role.
How are you “more free” when the government is the third party in your sex life?
Care to explain, Ted Cruz, you disgusting fucking mutant?
