Based on that logic, we don't need any over the counter medication. We don't need allergy medicine - people have lived with runny noses for thousands of years. We don't need aspirin since people have lived with pain for thousands of years. We don't need antacids because people have lived for thousands of years without them.

What percentage of the time do aspirin, benadryl, or tums cause the demise of a unique human being?

Drug allergies kill. If aspirin were a recently developed drug, it would never get past the FDA because of its side effects. Stomache bleeding, liver damage, blood thinning, and allergies just to name a few.

There are many medications that can cause termination of a pregnancy or the death of a fetus. Even drinking alcohol can do that. Oral contraceptives do serve other functions and that should not be denied to people that need them.
