The idea that any pill or medication’s existence “implies” that women “must” make certain choices or are somehow worth less for doing so is akin to saying we should all be crack whores because that’s the implication of cocaine.
Birth control pills are a lot more than a contraceptive. They regulate periods, reduce the severity of flow and cramps (which is absolutely horrible for some women), and they can potentially lower the risk of anemia. They also can be highly beneficial to women with hormone imbalances and help alleviate symptoms of severe depression. On a surface level, it reduces if not rids you of acne.
There are potential side effects to the birth control pill. There are side effects to Tylenol. Medical professionals who are actually qualified to make that decision can prescribe them for a patient and she can choose whether or not she takes it, stays on it, and if she does experience negative side effects, a birth control pill can be easily switched. There is a slight risk of clotting, but generally this is no more severe than what you’d experience naturally. If it is worse, it doesn’t take much to notify your doctor so the pill can be changed to one that suits you.
Typically, there are far more benefits, and when there aren’t what’s prescribed is simply switched.
If we are talking about sex, the pill is highly effective at preventing the body from ovulating. It greatly if not completely diminishes an egg from being fertilized (translation: a child not conceived in the first place). Pair it with a condom and you have two different types of contraceptive working in your favor.
Yet whether or not a woman chooses to have sex has nothing to do with being on birth control. If anything, she’s safer because of it as a “just in case.” She doesn’t suddenly become a mindless animal or a “disposable piece of flesh” because she wants to stop gushing blood or being doubled over and vomiting just because her monthly gift came in a little hard.
I cannot in good conscience call out ignorance on the left and not do the same with the out-of-touch fringe in the archaic outskirts of the right. There is nothing this post accomplished other than broadcasting you know nothing about the topic and are more interested in considering women who make any choice regarding their reproductive health other than your own self-harming whores. It’s a painfully stunted, childish, desperate reach, and one that evidently seeks to pat oneself on the back for choosing purity and a chaste life when the thing that’s going to send you straight to Hell is your petty and judgemental nature. Combined with, quite possibly, overwhelmingly stupid medical decisions.
If I may make a suggestion, perhaps worry about yourself and leave other women to their own lives, health, and decisions. If they make the wrong one, so be it. It never was yours to decide in the first place, any more than it was a doctor’s choice to save a life or a drunkard’s idea to pour himself another glass.
It’s out of touch foolishness like this that gives people the false idea that conservatives and all who lean that way are stuck in the dark ages. Apparently, a nagging few still are.
