There are terrible, terrible side effects. A friend of mine died. I had to be hospitalized. It was a horrifying experience.
I am sorry about your friend. But I doubt her death was caused by birth control pills. Everyone I have known has been on birth control pills. They had no side effects. They prevent ovulation. One does not die from that.
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.
