“Over the counter birth control, why not?”

March 20, 2012 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

So reads the headline in the Globe today and it turns out it’s a column by Margaret Wente.

Here’s why not.

Certainly, ignorance can be bliss, but in that case, should you really be writing columns? And parts of the argumentation are hogwash, too. Pharmaceutical companies apparently find gaining over the counter approval too costly. Really? Come on. It would make the drug more available and that means money–for said pharmaceutical companies. Anyway, no need to type more; I’ve already written a column in response.

    I agree. Having been on the pill for several years, I know what kind of side effects they can have, and not any pill is going to be best for anyone.

    Andrea, if your article is published, please give us a link to it. I read Wente’s article and find it hard to believe that she doesn’t know about the links between oral contraception and breast cancer. She needs to listen to Dr. Angela Lanfranchi.
