This may have big implications for all those who believe even birth control is forbidden by some god or natural order.

Quote:
Opill, also known as the "mini-pill," contains one hormone, progestin, and is taken daily. It was first approved by the FDA as a prescription in 1973.

The FDA said it is approving the over-the-counter version for all users of reproductive age, including teenagers, a move that is expected to remove barriers to access and reduce the risk of unintended pregnancies.

Oh dear, teens won't have to consult mom or dad.

But if they want cigarettes they do to age 21!

And when they get student loans they can say they were too young to know what they were doing.......

This country makes no sense.

Because smoking cigarettes and taking on debt are not medical procedures.

There is a big difference in a child having a medical procedure and using recreational drugs or taking on debt.

And, having an unintended child under 18 will ruin your health and finances more than any debt or smoking could.

Which is why parents need to be involved before they have a medical procedure. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength
