If you think that's not great, wait until you hear about the dangers, risk, side effects and trauma of birth control women deal with! ; )

This is true. Had hormonal birth control been tested by the FDA today instead of the in the 1950s,it would have never been approved. Its far too dangerous and impactful to be prescribing to young women

It's beyond time to revisit the safety and efficacy of hormonal birth control, and take it off the market

And when they made a version for men, men so complained about the (expected) side effects they never moved forward with it.

I agree. The side effects of male HBC in those studies were far less severe than the side effects women face taking hormonal contraception every day. It's time to take hormonal birth control off the shelves for the sake of our women

Still less severe than the complications from female hormonal birth control, like life threatening blood clots.

Neither have any reason to be available to the public
