Take a look at who relies on contraception: 58 percent of women use it for purposes OTHER than family planning.

The last two times I took oral contraception, it was to calm down my cramps and what not. A couple of days a week, every month, I can barely function. I had negative side effects and opted not to continue.
To be on certain kinds of acne medication, you need an oral contraceptive to regulate your hormones.
Some women have periods all over the fucking calendar and oral contraceptives help them regulate it.
I think these “houses of worship”, run mostly by men, should grow the fuck up.
Sincerely,
Management
