Sgt (Join to see) Truly. When did parents stop encouraging their kids to not fool around and instead to get married before having children, which imho increases the population in a responsible way . . . when it is possible to afford raising children. That is an ideal many young people in particular never attain, but it is also an ideal that many have never imagined, nor were told was expected of them. It is about good health and quality of life for adults and their progeny.

Yes, there should be inexpensive birth control, but birth control as prescribed by a doctor is like $10/month with insurance and maybe $30/month without. OTC is probably going to be that much anyway, so there is absolutely no reason to offer it over the counter. And no age restrictions? WTF??

Nothing oral for any type of birth control should be without age restriction it messes too much with hormone levels when the body is just beginning to mature and find its own levels it will adapt to. At least have the pill age restricted with out an ObGyn's prescription. For teen agers.
