Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Says Birth Control For Women Should Be Free And Sold Over-The-Counter

Hey I’m not going to make this about politics, my view, or any of your views. I will say that my mother got a gnarly case of Brest cancer. Triple negative to be exact (that means hormone blockers or “antidotes” to keep it from coming back do not exist). I know this sounds crazy but oncologists across the globe are starting to question if pumping all these young women full of EXCESS hormones over the years CAN CAUSE CANCER. For all of you AOC supporters, I wish you the best. UNFORTUNATELY the idea of selling birth control over the counter is absolutely ludicrous. Side affects, getting into the wrong hands, and misinformed young women should all be reasons that they are not over the counter. As with every single thing you do, you need to realize the risks not just the rewards. If you want to fix this problem, let’s make birth control easily accessible while keeping our young ladies safe with regular monitoring and plenty of information. Let’s make sure these little pills aren’t responsible for the insanely high breast cancer rates. Let’s make sure that we have the safest options out there! My 2 cents.

On a lighter note, a joke my father always loved to use:
Do you know how to make a hormone? Don’t pay her! baa dun chh
