Contraceptives are a medical issue as well as a societal one.If physicians qualified to make such determinations decide that a particular one is “safe” to use without a prescription (as is the case with aspirin,among other drugs) then they can make that recommendation.
Doctors deemed every one of the prescription drugs “safe” to prescribe that are now withdrawn from the market and subject to endless class action lawsuits.
Oral contraceptives have been linked to stroke, heart attack and an increased risk of blood clots.
We should just put them in bowls and hand them out free. /s

Exactly. My personal doctor WILL NOT prescribe birth control for me because I’m a smoker. Now, I can find another doctor who deosn’t care about my risk of stroke, but the point is that BC pills are not harmless candy.
