And I know plenty of people who had no issues or benefitted. Some with hormone issues. It's a women's choice in the end. Including using abortion as birth control.
It's not a woman's choice when their doctors, prompted by big pharma, withhold critical information on the potential side effects -- which are not as rare as they have mislead women to believe.
And again, abortion isn't "birth control" as it has been traditionally defined, which is contraceptives -- i.e. preventing pregnancy.
Abortion, on the other hand, is population control whether the mother, health insurance, or the gov't pays for it. Do some research into the founding of Planned Parenthood.
But, this is about the pill, not abortion. Let's not go down that rabbit hole unless you want to start another thread of your own.
Did you watch the entire video? This is not about choice. It's about INFORMED choice.
This is an example of the "leaflet" that accompanies one brand of BC pill -- which the patient never sees until after the pill is prescribed by her doctor and the pharmacist fills the prescription. How is that making sure the patient is informed prior to consenting to starting the pill? Most people will never bother to read that entire thing, so they rely solely on people like you who "know plenty of people who had no issues or benefitted" as well as their healthcare professional's opinion.

Have we forgotten about the opioid epidemic? The medical and drug industries are far from infallible -- or trustworthy when there's billion$ on the table to be made.
