Bobby Jindal: Birth control should be over the counter
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/14/2012 | Coronal

Posted on 12/14/2012 1:59:00 PM PST by Coronal

Bobby Jindal wants you to be able to get your contraceptives over the counter, and that’s just the first step. “Democrats have wrongly accused Republicans of being against birth control and against allowing people to use it,” the Louisiana governor writes in the Wall Street Journal today. “That’s hogwash.”

And agsin. Birth control is no one’s business except the one who is using it. It is especially not the business of a politician.

You can doubt all you want, but I was there and it is a fact. I was also hospitalized - twice - with severe side effects after getting on different versions of the pill. Sorry if this information doesn’t fit it with what you want to believe.

How dare you accuse me of lying. I was hospitalized twice, ten years apart, after going on two different versions of the pill. A friend of mine died. The adverse side effects are known to doctors and are a matter of public record.

I am talking from experience. Mine and dozens of friends and family. Seldom do people have side effects. And what is the option? This is an informed decision. It is no one’s business. As I said, expecially that of a politician. If you do not want to take birth control...that is your decision. If your neighbor chooses to, it is no one’s business except hers.

You were hospitalized because of complications from being on birth control and you got back on it? I do not doubt you but why would you get back on birth control if you were once hospitzlized for complications? And that is so rare.

That 98% figure (Link) is bogus.

The link is to a lengthy detailed study, but I can tell you three reasons why it's bogus from the top of my head:

However, the Obama administration has done its best to spread this fabricated statistic for their own partisan purposes.

I hope you will refrain from aiding them in this effort.

Now you are changing your story. You write like a Dem. You are trying to make it look as if I said was what people should do. I said only that there are adverse side effects, and that I know from direct experience. You and the forty people you know are not significant in the overall view. The adverse side effects are a fact.

Actually, the adverse side effects are not rare, just hushed up. I did it a second time because it was ten years later and the doctor told me it was different: another formula, lower dosage. He was wrong.

Okay. That reply alone tells me there is no use in attempting to discuss this issue with you so I will stop. The “you write like a dem” is such nonsense. YOU write like a dem. How is that? Is that not easy to say and does that look incredibly foolish? Good night.

I can’t believe that this is true. This isn’t Bobby Jindal. I believe it will be refuted in a couple days or so.

Whether sold by prescription or over the counter will not change the stats of pill problems.

Why would you take something so dangerous?? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Never met a Catholic who didn’t take the pill...Or have their tubes tied OR hubby had a vasectomy. Let’s be truthful about this.

I have.

Because a doctor told me it would be safe, the first time. And ten years later, a different doctor told me that it was all changed now, a lower dosage, and everything would be fine.

A trained physician who knows the contraindications would not write a prescription for those drugs. For example, if I knew someone had a previous deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism I would never write that prescription for that patient. If obtainable only by prescription that person wouldn not be put in danger because I would never write that prescription.

We will have to agree to disagree.

You write like a Dem because you do the same thing they do - change the subject when the facts don’t support you. First you asserted that there were no adverse side effects. Then when I told you my friend died from them, and I was hospitalized, you said it couldn’t have been the cause of my friend’s death. When I said I knew that it was, because I was there, you questioned why I took them a second time. When I explained that, you switched to “it ‘s a personal choice” as if the discussion had been about choices, when it was about only one thing: are there adverse side effects? The answer is, yes, there are, my friend and I and hundreds of others are proof.

Concur. My daughter is getting married in a few months and she is having a hard time finding the right dosage. The first dosage she was proscribed turned her into a banshee. She has gone through about three different prescriptions and all of them turn her into a very unpleasant person. Birth control pills are not one size fits all. Birth control pills are very powerful and need to be tailored to the person.

There isn’t a problem with access to these types of drugs. The problem is who pays for them.

There are over 60 different types of birth control pills.

Quick which one is the right one? Perhaps you could ask your friend or the clerk.

Asserting there wouldn’t be more problems is a fallacy.
