The birth-control-as-candy model of healthcare has set womens healthcare back generations. Billions and billions in profits yet barely a dent in funding and research for conditions like Endometriosis.

IUD sounds like a weapon of war. We are at war with our bodies rather than healing them…

Her mother took her for birth control at age 16? This woman made a lot of stupid choices. But her idiot mother made probably made the worst one ever.

And the poorest choice this woman made was to be sexually promiscuous before marriage.

Feminists and leftists don’t care what birth control does to women.

That’s because they only see women as political pawns ♟.

We can only assume this is true. She says in the article she had not had any sexual experiences before the birth control.

They often encourage women to go on birth control for, “health reasons.” Or, they use it as a treatment for endometriosis, but I’ve heard gynecologists say that is just a band aid, and it’s not a good treatment for patients with endometriosis.

I was wondering about the veracity of the article myself. The statement about the doctor recommending “ibuprofen until the bleeding stops” either means the doctor was an incompetent hack who doesn’t know ibuprofen is a blood thinner or the story was made up. The former is certainly possible.

Anything but marriage! Better to be a hoe than an honest women in today’s “woke” society.

My mom only took me for contraceptives when I told her I planned to start having sex. I had a steady for all of high school, and we were together for seven and a half years before he ended it. I didn’t see it coming.

I was only on contraceptives for three years and wound up having a tubal. I have a lot of underlying health issues from birth that almost made this and my eventual partial hysterectomy a requirement.

Marriage is a losing deal in almost every state for men. Why would a man risk financial ruin and loss of half at the minimum of his wealth and assets to marry someone who has from day one the legal upper hand. Remove birth control and this becomes a suicide pact on his part he is not only on the hook for half assets but at least 25% of his gross pretax income for now upwards of 25 years in some.states. Who in their right mind would do that for sexual activity. At least with birth control it levels the playing field some. What is needed is male birth control, there is already two forms of injectable male birth control why is it not legal in the USA. Professional athletes... It’s injectable testosterone and it’s identical to performance enhancing anabolics. So if it was legal every athlete could claim oh I popped hot for testosterone injections because I’m on birth control yes it’s that bad here for freedom. There is a temporary injectable vasectomy procedure that puts gel into the male tubes to block them until the gel is dissolved but it’s not near as effective as the testosterone shots. Of course a permanent vasectomy is always an alternative and lots of men take that route with frozen sperm as a back up for a change of mind. It’s bad enough for the far right to attack abortion but going after birth control is some crazy Catholic church BS and political suicide.

This girl was used very badly. Her mother and her boyfriend? This is very sick. Some women here should help her.

Wouldn’t classify Ibuprofen as a blood thinner...but it may prolong bleeding time...but if the doc recommended it, ....that would not have been very wise on the docs part.

The man in these pregnancy cases may often escape all responsibility for the care of the woman he impregnates, as well ás the nurture of the child. He simply was a one night stand. I would bet there are plenty of situations that the pregnant female has so many anonymous sex partners she wouldn’t even know who the father was or where he is.

You just described Maury....”YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER!”

A steady boyfriend or husband certainly would be on the hook. This is why it’s stacked against men who even try to do the right thing. Male birth control solves all of those issues and if both are on birth control then it’s 97% plus 97% effective for hormonal types virtually impossible to have a pregnancy if both are on BC everyone wins then. What the younger generations want is a back up plan should birth control fail which it does on a fairly regular basis. No abstinence is not going to work. There is a great commercial of a old white guy standing in the corner of the bedroom of two college age people while they are in bed this is exactly how the younger generations see it and it fires them up. So having a 12 to 15 weeks window is where most people I know at least want as a plan B. These are professional high income net tax payers with master’s degrees who are ardently fiscally conservative and America first you lose them on abortion if it’s restricted before 12 wks or so. I don’t know anyone who is late term for any reason other than to save the mother and at that point just deliver or c section the fetus and send it to CPS no question asked if that doesn’t kill the mother in the process. There are some very rare cases where delivery would kill the mother and c section is not an option but those are so rare just having life of the mother in there covers all of those.

“Feminists and leftists don’t care what birth control does to women”

Feminist women ... AND men. Probably the men moreso than women. Easier sex without having to take responsibility.

“Wouldn’t classify Ibuprofen as a blood thinner”

All of my doctors do. I’m on Eliquis and can’t take any NSAIDs because they thin the blood even more — to a dangerous level.

Before Eliquis, just taking Ibuprofen for pain, when I had a blood draw I’d hear the comment, “You must be on Ibuprofen or aspirin because your blood is so thin.”

An ob-gyn who recommends a blood thinner for “lady issues” is, as you said, “not very wise”. Dangerous.
