Panel approves OTC birth control option

Over playing your hand again I see.
Guys, it’s a woman. We must bow out and let her speak her truth.
No chance any of us knows what she does.

 

It so happens I am in precisely my own lane on this one, and I've been in it for 40 years.

 

I'm OK with it as long as it is safe, now if there are possible side effects I would want to see an age restriction on it. Otherwise OK.

 

The FDA notes your position with great interest.

 

Why waste time regaling your ilk with insight when your Ilk is incapable of insight? When Trumpaloon asks you a question they don’t care about the answer they’re just trying to waste your time

 

How the f is birth control the same thing as abortion. You are making your side look bad here.

 

LOL at anyone who thinks birth control pills are for abortions. If anything, their purpose is to avoid them.

 

It’s a birth control pill, not an abortion or ‘night after’ pill.

 

birth control: the control freaks want to take that away too

 

Many OB/GYns don’t think it should be. That’s the biggest reason it hasn’t been OTC.

It’s a lot different than Claritin actually, Claritin doesn’t make Breast and uterine cancer grow faster for one.

 

Actually 3-5 at once could cause a miscarriage early on can work like plan B

 

For some reason the FDA hasn’t made it OTC even though it’s been around for 50 years.
In your esteemed opinion do they have the knowledge to make the decision?

 

Oral Birth control pills are not abortion and should not be classified as such.

 

You certainly don’t.

 

Aren’t certain birth control pills deemed (at least by some) abortifacients? I’m not making an argument either way but I assume there are different kinds?

 

Yes, unless they can double as a miscarriage pill.

Do we really need another birth control pill? I guess it it cannot be misused like a miscarriage pill... You're the doctor.

If it's a "next day pill" then it's an abortion pill. How many days after does this "birth control pill" work for?

 

What do you think?

Most countries offer the Pill over-the-counter

Could it be that we’re the ones screwed up? Isn’t this your chance to rail against Big Pharma?

 

It’s been in use for the past 50 years.

 

Yeah, you can hypothetically induce an abortion by abusing any number of readily available substances. You might kill COVID and end a pregnancy with a simple bleach cocktail, many people are saying, a real catch-22 for that population.
