My sister takes birth control pills so that she can have regular periods. Without it she will go several months between periods. I'm not sure why exactly.
A friend of mine take them because she has poly-cystic-ovarian-something-or-other that basically means without the pill she would have irregular, heavy, very painful bleeding.
I suppose the Bush Administration is unaware that A Lot Of Women Suffer From Menstrual Problems That The Pill Can Easily Solve. The bastards.
I hate Bush. If he were dying I would seriously have to pause and think about it before I would try to save his life (though I know I would in the end, I would probably give the man CPR while crying about how I hate him). The man vetoed giving poor, uninsured children health insurance, for God's sake. If he doesn't give a damn about children, why should he give a damn about women?
Because women have babies, and we definitely need women to have babies and make more good little Christan taxpayers! But they don't have to be healthy little taxpayers, no.
Isn't it amazing how those who make the biggest deal out of their faith are usually the ones who don't follow the spirit of it? Sometimes I picture Jesus standing on a cloud shouting down to Earth, "I SAID 'LOVE ONE ANOTHER,' YOU IDIOTS!"
"I mean, I know I said that the poor would always be with you and that you would suffer for my sake, but I didn't mean for you go out there yourself and cause the poverty and suffering. 'The first shall be last and the last shall be first' does not mean you go out and make sure everybody else is last."
