As for the birth contfol pill issue, I think it is far more complicated than you are showing. You have to go to a doctor to get a Rx, first off. There are many right now who don't even have health insurance. Now, assuming you go to the doctor, then you have to pay for the pills. Not everyone can take BC Pills. They do have serious side effects. Not taking them also has a serious side effect. It's easy for someone to say "why weren't you on the pill????"

I wish Birth Control were free to everyone and anyone who wants it. And, frankly, even some who don't want it. I think sterilization should be free, too. I'd be willing to chip in for that. I'd rather focus my energy on getting it fixed.

And, while we're talking about birth control, I wish people would get their animals fixed. And if you don't even have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of, don't even HAVE animals!!!!
