Opill, the first birth control pill approved to be sold without a prescription, has landed on shelves at some Walgreens stores.
The pill is also available to order online from Amazon, CVS, Walgreens and the Opill website.
It’s the first time that U.S. residents are able to buy birth control pills over the counter — the same way they would purchase Tylenol or Advil — though many states allow pharmacists to dispense birth control pills to patients without a prescription.
Sriha Srinivasan, 21, said she plans to start taking Opill as soon as she can find it at a store near her home in Fairfield, California — both for its convenience and because she wants to support a product that’s expanding access to contraception.
Srinivasan is a contraceptives activist with Advocates for Youth, a nonprofit organization that focuses on young people’s sexual and reproductive health. She said she tried to schedule appointments at local clinics to get a birth control prescription last year, only to find out that the earliest slots were months away, during her final exams.
“That’s not access to me,” she said. “This is fulfilling the gap that I experienced, that I know for a fact that other students have also experienced.”
The Food and Drug Administration approved Opill for over-the-counter sales in July, but the drug’s maker, Perrigo, didn’t start shipping batches to retailers and pharmacies until March 4.

I was in a pharmacy last night and they just got some in. I don't know if minors are allowed to buy it or not.
I wonder what the side effects will be for this?
No one faces the side effects of the prescription BCP 60 years on. What do they care about side effects for?
Relyance on abortion for 90% effective pill, destruction of marriage and family, Blood clots, breast cancer,
A generation of effeminate males from water supply issues
Should have happened 50 years ago. I’m 80.
50 years ago abortion clinics were making money of abortions.
That as all changed. Now women, and men must be responsible.
What I wonder is how many teens will get their hand on this not that a lot of schools had in-school clinics in the past.
I also wonder how many boys who think they are trans will start taking these?
” 90% effective pill”
Here is the deal with low dose birth control pills like this one.
For it to be effective it must be taken at the exact time every day. One missed dose can lower the protection rate.
So if a woman takes the first pill at 9 am the first day? Then every pill after wards must be taken at that same time. Even missing that by a few hours can upset the balance.
If a pill is missed by a day take it as soon as possible but assume you are not protected and use a condom and contraceptive foam EVERY TIME till the next batch of pills start. How many would do this?
The abortion industry was making a killing by putting women on the pill.
It will more likely than not prevent thousands of abortions.
Trans are messed up...they do messed up things. You think they'll be rushing for this?? That's nuts.
They've said it for years...Abortion is being used as birth control. This is a common sense solution. Teens do it and they're having abortions. This will be a benefit....not a negative.
Probably will have suggested baby names on the back, if it doesn’t work.
I don't know the mechanism of this new pill, but the standard contraceptive pill that's been in use for decades is a misnomer. It doesn't merely prevent conception, but also acts by preventing the implantation of an already-conceived human life--which now lives within a fertilized human ovum (egg)--into the uterus to receive nourishment and grow. If not allowed to implant, this new, unique-for-all-time, human individual dies.
The reality is that a fertilized egg contains the first cell, or cells, of a new human being--who, if left undisturbed, will be born about 9 months later.
So, the "Pill," in such cases, has missed the boat for preventing conception, and is simply aborting someone already conceived.
The question would be how, exactly, does this newer pill do what it does?
The old pill stops the ovaries from producing an egg each month. Please source what I believe is misinformation.
If the country is bound and determined to get the population replacement rate down below the current (approximately) 1.7, I’m sure this will help. Although as the number of Muslim immigrants increases (Palestinian refugees, anyone?), that number will undoubtedly start to go up - with predictable consequences.
Artificial birth control is immoral because it interferes with God’s Creation of human life.
I assume if I dug long enough, I'd find Fauci, Bill Gates, and/or George Soros, but if they're there, they are burrowed in too deep for my short layman's search to surface them. I did find BlackRock though:According to Wiki:Perrigo Company plcPerrigo Company plc (Hebrew: פריגו) is an American Irish-registered manufacturer of private label over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, and while 70% of Perrigo's net sales are from the U.S. healthcare system, Perrigo is legally headquartered in Ireland for tax purposes, which accounts for 0.60% of net sales.In March 2021, Perrigo confirmed it would sell off its generics business to Altaris Capital Partners for $1.55 billion.
According to https://fintel.io/s/us/prgoransomnote: by far the two largest share holders are Vanguard and BlackRock (emphasis mine)177 institutions own Perrigo stock.Largest shareholders include Vanguard Group Inc, BlackRock Inc., Dimensional Fund Advisors Lp, State Street Corp, VTSMX - Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Investor Shares, IJH - iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF, Deprince Race & Zollo Inc, Cooke & Bieler Lp, NAESX - Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund Investor Shares, and DAVENPORT & Co LLC .

I have zero trust in Opill, or in the list of side-effects because the FDA/CDC are committed to lying about the side effects of the Covid 'vaccine'.
Of course they are saying Opill is a synthetic progestin-only pill (i.e., norgestrel) , and it's extremely safe and effective (claimed 98%, right up there with Covid 'vax' 95% claims) and has minimal side effects.Supposedly many people who cannot take estrogen-progestin pills can safely use Opill. Did they say many 'people' because they couldn't say 'women' because of trans ideology? Or did they say many 'people' instead of 'women' because there is no age restriction and no parental consent, so girls can take it too?It's important to note that there's no age restriction on Opill, and you don't need to show ID or have a parent's consent to buy the product.Apr 15, 2024How Much Does Opill Cost?

All the lonely people....
Everyone else’s bedroom is absolutely none of your business.
At my chain pharmacy...have had them for months now...haven’t sold a single one...gathering dust to return for out of date...
Apparently, some pills do it one way, and some another. The points below are excerpted from Web MD, a by-no-means pro-life site:
https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/features/birth-control-vs-abortion
"The Birth Control Process
"Birth control prevents an egg and sperm from connecting and then leading to pregnancy. There are a few ways it works:
"It stops ovulation, so you don’t release an egg. . .
"It stops fertilization, so a sperm doesn’t reach and fertilize an egg. . . by thinning the lining of your uterus, so if the egg and sperm connect, the embryo can’t stick into the lining,” Yen says. If it can’t stick to the lining, also known as implanting, it can’t get the nutrients it needs to grow."
