What's so hard about the pill |
I don't mean to sound like a martyr here but taking the pill is not just a simple nonchalant solution. The girl has to be willing to allow her body's natural rhythm to be controlled by foreign substances. In addition to going against the natural way her body works, a girl also has to entertain the idea that her body will undergo fucked up, inconvenient repercussions: mood swings, anxiety, weight gain, depression, increased risk of breast cancer, etc. The list goes on.
Might be hard for new-age thinkers on here, but the idea of letting a pill control something as sacred as the cycle that creates life can cause a lot of mental distress. I'm not saying all women - this is just some speculation.
*Just like to make clear that my little discourse up there does not include women who are advised by their doctor to take the pill for reasons other than birth control (to stimulate a regular cycle, to aid in polycystic ovarian disorder, for acne, etc.) In such cases the woman, along with her doctor, will decide that the benefits of taking the pill outweigh the potential of suffering from side-effects.
Weird thing is, is that I have no problem of this nature with condoms (i.e. I don't have any "moral" issues with them, if you wanna call it that). I suppose it is the "temporariness" of using a condom as opposed to the long-term decision to take the birth control pill that makes me see things differently. This doesn't make much sense because the condom does the same thing as the pill, in that it unnaturally controls the other half of what it takes to create life. Perhaps because it has no long-term detrimental effects on the male... not sure.

IF you are on the pill.. chances are you are not getting pregnant. You could always just have plan b ready the next day if you are so paranoid. |
Shame on you Mario. The Plan B pill is the most fucked up thing that a girl can put her body through. I will NEVER EVER take that shit again. I would rather have a baby than put my body through that again.
All physical and psychological aspects of it are horridly fucked up.
