Birth control drugs and devices have long been known to come with the risk of complications, Most of the stations I've been watching lately apparently have older viewers who need power chairs, etc. so I don't know if lawyers are still seeking clients who have suffered problems or lost relatives to birth control pills and devices. Young women need to be warned that there is a risk.

All meds have possible negative affects. The precautionary principle would have us living in caves in the dark.

So tell me, why is a 16-year-old “virgin?” girl taking birth control pills? What was her motive? Is that a bit too young? Was she counseled to do this and by whom? And who would that partner be? Are we not allowed to know the answers? Sorry to be so politically incorrect, it makes rabid RATS go ballistic, hope they land on Jupiter.

As a nurse I can tell you that blood clots due to birth control pills are more common than the drug companies report.

A number of years ago, they developed a form of birth control for men. I don't remember the specifics of what it was but what was striking was that one of the men got something that was equivalent to a hangnail and they shut the entire research project down.

But women can die due to birth control pills and they just keep cranking them out.

Three years ago my pastor’s wife very nearly died because a pulmonary embolism caused by birth control pills. She was one of the lucky ones who survived due the prayers of hundreds of people.

Her doctor, Paramundayil Joseph...

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

And these can be handed out with no parental consent or even awareness?

No matter what their position on birth control, pro-lifers agree that even one innocent life lost is one too many.

There are many who would argue that a sixteen year old girl on birth control is not quite innocent.

I took birth control meds for a very short time , less than a week. It gave me such extreme headaches that I quit. Had I not quit I might have been one of these rare cases.
