Colorado Republican Congressman and U.S. Senate Candidate Cory Gardner has suggested birth control pills should be over-the-counter as part of his campaign platform and stance on women's health. Instead of applauding Gardner's approach, which would greatly expand women's access to birth control, Planned Parenthood has come out against him. The justification? Obamacare and government dependence for women is better.

He's either a dolt or a woman-hater or both. The contraindications of hormonal birth control treatment are legion. It can be deadly for many women and should never be used without a physician's oversight.

Seriously makes you wonder how stupid some men are....they act like birth control is nothing more than candy for women to take so they could have sex. It is a drug that is best for a physician to prescribe to a woman so that she gets the proper pill to take.
In other words, we are dealing with another thread fail!

If a woman has any history of menstruation problems, her doctor needs to know this. I had very heavy prolonged periods at 12 years old (1960) and they put me on "hormones" to correct it. It got better as I got older and I stopped taking them.
When I was in my 20's and needed BC, I did not tell my doctor about this. How would I even know what I took as a pre-teen? I had MAJOR problems taking the Combination Pill; breakthrough bleeding, and again, very heavy periods. My doctor put me on the Mini Pill (Progesterone only) and things were fine after that.
I know that many people think it should and can be sold over the counter, BUT an individual woman's medical history MUST be taken into consideration. It can have severe consequences for some women.
No, it isn't candy, and it not like a condom which very rarely will have any adverse reactions for a male.

Not even 12 months ago liberals were criticizing the Rx method of obtaining BC since in most countries OTC BC is common.
